Getting Started

Privacy & Safety

Is TeaSpill anonymous?

Yes. Your real name is never collected, displayed, or stored. You choose a persona and interact through that persona. Other users never see your real identity, phone number, or location.

Does TeaSpill see my phone number?

Your phone number is used only for verification at sign-up to confirm you are a real person. It is never visible to other users, never shared with third parties, and never used for marketing.

Is TeaSpill safe to use?

Yes. TeaSpill has three safety layers: women-only verified access (phone verification), full anonymity (no real names), and community moderation (the community flags and removes posts that violate standards). The platform is specifically designed to be a safe space.

How does TeaSpill verify that users are women?

TeaSpill uses phone verification to confirm real humans and a community trust model. The verification process and community reporting system together maintain the women-only environment.

Can men join TeaSpill?

No. TeaSpill is a women-only platform. The verification and community moderation systems are designed to maintain this.

Will my posts ever be traced back to me?

Posts are anonymous โ€” your persona, not your real identity, is attached to them. TeaSpill does not display identifying information on posts and the platform is designed to make posts non-identifiable to other users.

Can I delete my posts?

Yes. You can delete your own posts at any time from within the app.

Does TeaSpill sell my data?

No. TeaSpill does not sell user data to third parties. Your phone number is used only for verification. See the full privacy policy at teaspill.co/privacy.

The Community

How many women are on TeaSpill?

Over 12,000 verified women across 156+ cities. The community grows daily through word-of-mouth and organic referrals from women who've found it useful.

What are the rooms in TeaSpill?

There are six rooms: Red Flag Lounge (post situations for voting), The Spill Room (share stories and experiences), Glow-Up Corner (post-breakup support and progress), Hot Takes (opinions and dating discourse), Date Spots (city-specific recommendations), and Sister Circle (general support and connection).

What is the Red Flag Lounge?

The Red Flag Lounge is TeaSpill's core feature. You post a situation anonymously โ€” describing a man's behaviour โ€” and the community votes red flag, yellow flag, or green flag. The result is a live percentage that updates as votes come in.

What do red flag, yellow flag, and green flag mean?

Red flag = this behaviour is genuinely dangerous or unacceptable, leave. Yellow flag = proceed with caution, more information needed. Green flag = normal behaviour, your concern may be unfounded. Votes display as live percentages.

How accurate is the red flag voting system?

Based on follow-up UPDATE posts from original posters, TeaSpill's community voted red flag on situations that turned out to be genuinely harmful 89% of the time by the poster's own account.

What is the UPDATE feature?

When something has progressed since your original post, you can post an UPDATE. All women who reacted to your original post receive a notification. Updates close the loop โ€” both for you and for the community โ€” and are how TeaSpill tracks outcome accuracy.

What is the Glow-Up Corner?

The Glow-Up Corner is a room for post-breakup transformation. Women share their progress, milestones, and wins after leaving difficult situations. It's part accountability, part celebration, and part collective cheerleading.

What is Sister Circle?

Sister Circle is the general support room โ€” not dating-specific. It's where women connect, ask for advice on non-dating situations, celebrate wins, and build community beyond the red flag context.

What are Hot Takes?

Hot Takes is the discourse room. Controversial opinions on dating, relationships, men, society โ€” all submitted anonymously for the community to weigh in on. Fast-moving, often funny, always honest.

What are Date Spots?

Date Spots is where women share city-specific recommendations โ€” places that are good (or not) for dates, with community ratings. Useful for planning, and for knowing what kind of man suggests which kind of venue.

Posting & Voting

What should I include in a red flag post?

Describe the specific behaviour (not your interpretation of it), include a rough timeline, mention any explanations he gave you, and add what you've been telling yourself to justify it. The more specific, the more accurate the vote.

How long does it take to get votes?

Active posts typically receive their first votes within minutes. High-engagement posts can get hundreds of votes within a few hours. The feed moves quickly.

Can I vote on other women's posts?

Yes. Voting on others' posts is one of the most valuable things you can do in the community. Your vote contributes to the collective accuracy that makes the system work.

Is there a limit to how many posts I can make?

There are daily posting limits to maintain feed quality, but most women find this more than sufficient for regular use.

Can I comment on posts?

Yes. Each post has a comment thread where women can add context, share similar experiences, or provide additional perspective beyond their vote.

What are Share Cards?

Share Cards are auto-generated graphics showing your post and its vote results that you can share externally (to close friends or social media) without revealing the community or your identity. They look like app screenshots.

What happens if I post something that turns out to be wrong?

You can post an UPDATE clarifying what actually happened. The community is designed for human complexity โ€” situations evolve, context changes, and sometimes more information changes the picture. Updates are celebrated, not shamed.

Personas

What are the TeaSpill personas?

There are four: Spiller (you have stories to tell), Red Flag Detector (you have a gift for pattern recognition), Glow-Up Queen (you're in post-breakup transformation), and Listener (you're here to support others). You choose one at sign-up and can change it later.

Does my persona affect what I can do?

No. All personas have access to all rooms and all features. Your persona is primarily how you present yourself and how the community understands your perspective.

Can I change my persona after sign-up?

Yes. You can update your persona at any time in your profile settings.

Technical

What browsers does TeaSpill support?

Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge are all fully supported. For the best PWA experience, Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone are recommended.

How do I turn on notifications?

In your browser, allow notifications when prompted, or go to your browser settings โ†’ Site Settings โ†’ teaspill.co โ†’ Notifications โ†’ Allow. You'll receive notifications for UPDATE posts on situations you've voted on.

Account Management

How do I delete my TeaSpill account?

Go to your profile settings. Scroll to the bottom. Select 'Delete Account'. Confirm. Your account, posts, and associated data will be removed. This is irreversible.

Can I take a break without deleting my account?

Yes. Simply stop using the app. There is no activity requirement and no penalty for inactivity. Your account remains exactly as you left it when you return.

What happens to my posts if I delete my account?

Your posts become anonymous โ€” they are no longer associated with your persona, though the content may remain visible without attribution as part of the community record.

Miscellaneous

Is TeaSpill affiliated with the Tea app?

No. TeaSpill is a separate, independent platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or related to the Tea dating app. TeaSpill is specifically built as a women-only community safety tool.

How do I report a post that violates community rules?

Tap the three-dot menu on any post and select 'Report'. Choose the violation category. The moderation team reviews flagged posts. High-confidence community reports result in fast removal.
