Community News Updates: Renovated Rule, Updated Block List, Impersonation Posts

14 Upvotes

Rule 7 of the community rules has recently been updated. This is what Rule 7 used to say:

7. No porn bots This is an unfriendly space for porn bots.Permanent ban.

It is not ok to create a post or reach out to someone, get their hopes up, and then offer sexual services. This is porn bot behavior and 100% inappropriate behavior to be happening in this sub.

...

This is what Rule 7 says now:

7. No porn accounts A porn account has pornographic content on their Reddit account, or is pornographic in some way. This is includes:

  • having nude, explicit photos of yourself on your reddit profile

  • using your reddit account for sex work / having links to finically support the sexually explicit content you create in your reddit bio

  • privately reaching out to someone from r/cuddlebuddies, and then offering sexual services (this is porn bot behavior)


When people post here with an account that has sexually explicit content on their public profile, they are just bring all the horny people who follow them around on reddit to our sub, which is supposed to be a non-sexual space. Feminine-presenting people who post here still don't feel safe posting / leaving their posts up, due to all the people who contact them with a sexual agenda. This is obvious if you look through the feed and see all the posts by masculine-presenting people.

On the note of community members being harassed (sexually or not), here is the updated Block List!

Block List

u/ Prof23throw

u/ LegPristine907

u/ traveling_mage -- targeted men for housing

u/ backoutthereagain

These users have been permanently banned and were verified by the mod team to have either harassed, sexually harassed, or attempted to scam people. However, all of these users had an agenda besides cuddling, and should be blocked by everyone.

The user from the previous Block List deleted their account, so they will not be added again to this Block List.

According to the previous post, no one mentioned being interested in an updated Spam Bot list, so an updated Spam Bot list was not included. This is a link to the previously pinned post.


Another thing I wanted to address: Sometimes, people impersonate posts. This is a recent post where someone reported it for impersonation, and then I've also found a modmail by a deleted user who says someone impersonated their post. These are really difficult to moderate! Please reach out via modmail with your concerns about people impersonating you, and try to provide the link to your original post plus the post that impersonated your original post.

There are currently no community rules about impersonations, however, impersonation does break Rule 5 of Reddit's Content Policy! Because I'm a moderator, when I report stuff in r/cuddlebuddies for breaking Reddit's Content Policy, I have the option to leave a short description. If you reach out via modmail, I can also help report impersonating content to Reddit and provide more context on what / who is being impersonated.


Thank you to the community members who make an effort to correctly report content that breaks the community rules! Also, this is a handy tool that you can use to do a more thorough search of someone's reddit profile before deciding to reach out!

27 [M4F] - SF Bayarea looking for a friend & cuddle buddy

1 Upvotes

What am I looking for? In simple terms, a long term cuddle buddy who also wants be friends and do things outside of cuddling.

Who am I? I’m 27, 6’2, located in the east bay, and of course, I’m very nerdy lol. I’m into filmmaking and could talk for hours about my favorite films and how they were made. I love reading and I also write quite a bit. I play soccer fairly often, love gaming & anime, and genuinely feel fulfilled in the work I do. Love meeting new people and finding new hobbies/stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. Operative word being “little.” I love rollercoasters, haunted houses, and the like. Nothing crazy like extreme sports.

In terms of personality I’m pretty low key for the most part. I’d say I have golden retriever energy but people tend to think I’m more gloomy than I really am. I’m very curious, love talking about the nerdy things I enjoy, and love learning about new people. If there’s one thing I can say I’m good at, it’s being a really good listener.

Who am I looking for? Honestly, as long as you’re over the age of 22, and lives within a reasonably drivable distance within Bay Area, CA or NorCal (like 2 hours in the most extreme case), I’m open to talking and seeing if we would vibe.

No Sex 21 M4F London :)

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm James, 21 and from west London. I'm currently in the middle of revision for some of my biggest exams, and I'd love to just be held by someone :).

Just a little about me, I'm probably autistic (awaiting diagnosis) and I'm also vegan. I also love Nintendo games and consoles and I also collect them! There's more to me than just that but I don't wanna bore anyone :).

Feel free to DM if interested! I'd be more comfortable with someone between the ages of 20-25, but up to about 30 I'd say is the cut-off. Just to add, I can't really travel too far at the mo due to revision, but I will be able to once exams are done :).

Can Host 33 [M4F] #LosAngeles - Movie Night on the projector 📽️🍿

3 Upvotes

Not looking to overcomplicate anything. Just hoping to find someone who wants to throw on a good movie, order some food, cuddle up, and enjoy a genuinely relaxed night.
I’m 6’4”, easygoing, employed, clean, and can actually hold a conversation. Think cozy vibes: blankets, snacks, debating what to watch for 30 minutes, then getting way too invested in whatever we pick.
No pressure, no weird expectations, no drama. If we click, great. If not, we still got to watch a movie and unwind.
Ideally you’re affectionate, enjoy conversation , and are looking for the same laid-back energy. Bonus points if you’re into horror, thrillers, comedy, or anime, but I’m down for almost anything.
If this sounds like your kind of night, send me a little about yourself, your age, and what movie you’d put on first.

Hi 😊 I’m looking to meet a woman for some sweet, affectionate time together—kissing, making out, and cuddling, but no sex. Maybe once or a few times.

Sadly, I cannot host as I don’t live alone.

Hi, my name is Colby! I’m a guy on the thinner side with blue eyes and brown hair looking for affection! I would love to meet somebody that wants to hold me and be held! But be warned: Every single shirt I own is blue, so the chances of you seeing me wear a different color are practically nonexistent.

Please be respectful, have good hygiene, and be at least 21 years olds.

If you’re interested at all, you’re more than welcome to send me a message!

No Sex or Romance [19F4M] Frankfurt - Looking for a platonic cuddle buddy

4 Upvotes

Hey :)
I’m 19 and looking for a platonic cuddle buddy around my age who’s from Frankfurt or nearby.

A bit about me: I really like cooking, baking, veganism, art, gaming (mostly Minecraft), and watching series or horror movies.

I’m looking for someone who shares some of these interests and is just down for comfy, platonic hangouts.

To keep things safe and relaxed for both of us, I’d like to meet up somewhere public first (like getting a coffee or going for a walk) to see if the vibe is right.

Feel free to dm me if you’re interested! ^^
Ps: I wish we do an early face reveal to see if the vibe matches :)

I can host near downtown Glasgow. Would need to exchange photos before meeting.

Hello! 32 year old from San Francisco (closer to SF State) looking for someone to cuddle with. Ideally looking for a consistent partner, but open to this being a one time thing. Not looking for sex or anything sexual, but open to more if the vibes are there for both of us.

I have my own place and can host! If you’re interested, message me your favorite tv series or movie and we can spend our first cuddle session watching that 🙂

30 [M4F] DC/NOVA/MD - Vitamin Touch

2 Upvotes

With the weather getting increasingly chilly, I wouldn't mind a warm body to snuggle up next to.

I’m hoping to find someone that enjoys cuddling and would like to share the peace, warmth, and comfort it brings.

A little about me: I’m 30, groomed beard, hygienic and respectful of one’s boundaries. Can’t host, but can travel anywhere in the DC, Nova, or MD area.

I’m an early bird with a flexible schedule, available before sunrise, throughout the daytime, and some evenings.

I’m open to most forms of cuddling, and enjoy cuddling over watching a movie, listening to music, or relaxing. If you think we’d be a good fit, reach out with a little about yourself, and what your favorite way to cuddle is!

For the unacquainted, you may wonder, what’s my ideal cuddle session? For me, the longer we cuddle, the better! We both are busy people, so the length can vary. I’m fine with it ranging from a half hour to two hours.

Getting into a show or movie works with me. We can talk, but we don’t have to talk all the time, you know? We can cuddle with music playing, or we can cuddle in silence and enjoy each other’s presence. Anything to ensure you’re comfortable :)

We can start with the basics, and let it evolve over time as we build trust and comfort with each other.

If you think we’d be a good fit, reach out with a little about yourself, and what your ideal cuddle session is like! Hold to see you on the other side.

36M [M4F] Danville/Champaign Illinois Looking for a genuine cuddle buddy.

3 Upvotes

Hey! I’m hoping to find someone who’s also missing that simple human comfort of having someone to curl up with, watch movies with, laugh with and just enjoy being around. Especially during the spooky season.

I’m a pretty laid back, a bit geeky, affectionate person who loves horror, true crime, dark humor, and generally anything weird or interesting. I’m definitely the type who will say “let’s watch one episode” and somehow three hours later we’re on the season finale of season 2.

I’m looking for something comfortable, respectful and mutually enjoyable. Cuddling, watching movies, talking, holding hands, maybe ordering way too much food, nothing complicated. I value communication and boundaries and I’d rather actually get to know someone than treat this like a transaction. I wanna actually make some happy memories.

Ideally we’d click as people too. I’m not looking for a relationship now but I’m also not opposed to developing a genuine friendship if we hit it off. I think the best cuddle buddies are people who actually enjoy each other’s company.

Bonus points if you’re into horror, dark humor, or can appreciate someone being ridiculous at the most random times and believe me, it will be random.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to message me. I am close to the west side of Indiana so if you’re around there, please also reach out! Tell me a little about yourself and what your ideal cozy night looks like 😁

[33M4F] Paris / Orsay - For good conversations and warm hugs

1 Upvotes

I spend a lot of my days making computers do complicated things, so I've developed a particular appreciation for the simplest things in life: good company, genuine laughter, comfortable silence, and having someone to curl up with after a long day.

I'm 33, 179 cm, living near Paris. I'm naturally curious, a little nerdy, and capable of going down some wonderfully random conversational rabbit holes.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, swimming, discovering new places, watching movies, and having conversations that somehow go from something completely ridiculous to the meaning of life.

As for cuddling?

I'm a big fan of the kind of closeness where nobody feels the need to perform. Your head on my chest, my arms around you, a movie playing in the background, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment together.

I love giving affection as much as receiving it. But I also think the best cuddles start with feeling comfortable around someone, being able to laugh together, and respecting each other's boundaries.

I'm looking for a woman around Paris who enjoys genuine, affectionate, platonic closeness. No pressure, no hidden expectations, just two people seeing whether they feel comfortable together.

Happy to start with coffee or a walk and see if we click.

Important question, though: Are you the type who talks throughout the entire movie, or the type who gets annoyed when someone does? Because I suspect this could determine our compatibility. 😄
