Trust & Safety

Built so opinions stay honest

A quick, plain-language look at how Nervus protects the people using it — not a legal document, just what actually happens behind the scenes.

Active moderation

Nervus actively screens for self-support and coordinated manipulation, on both regular Nerves and paid Campaigns.

Confirmation before you spend

Any action that spends Coins — Backing, Countering, voting, gifting — shows a clear confirmation screen first. No surprise spends.

Reporting tools

Report a Nerve, a comment, a Banter participant, or a Campaign directly from wherever you encounter it.

Identity verification

The Blue tick requires completed identity verification, on top of an active Premium subscription.

Consent for location data

Features like Aware Circle that use location or emergency contact info only ever work with your explicit consent.

Fair Gems

Self-support and manipulated activity never qualify for Gems — earnings are meant to reflect real engagement.

Questions

Common questions

Can a paid action ever spend my Coins without asking?
No. Every paid action — Backing, Countering, voting, or a Banter gift — shows a confirmation screen with the cost before anything is spent.
What happens when I report something?
Reports on a Nerve, comment, Banter participant, or Campaign go to moderation for review. You can report directly from wherever you see the content.
What's the difference between a Gold tick and a Blue tick?
Gold means an active Premium subscription. Blue means Premium plus completed identity verification, and it replaces the Gold tick once earned. See the Premium page for the full comparison.
Does Aware Circle share my location without asking?
No. Aware Circle only shares your destination, check-in status, last-known location, or emergency contact info with your explicit consent and with the trusted contacts you choose. Eligibility and applicable legal requirements apply.
How does Nervus stop fake engagement from earning Gems?
Self-support and coordinated or manipulated activity are actively screened for and never qualify toward withdrawable Gems.
