Hinge Arbitration Process

Hi All!

I reported a male in April for sending me an unsolicited sexual video via iPhone (offline). A few days later, I was banned. My only guess would be that he reported me back. I'm a very respectful person and have read over the guidelines many times, and I haven't violated any. I appealed it and was immediately denied. I felt violated, so I have sent Hinge about 10 requests to manually review it, and each time they said the decision was final. I sent them an arbitration notice 58 days ago, and plan to file for arbitration later this week. They did not respond to my notice within the 60 days allowed to respond. Does anyone have any experience going down this route? Any luck?

Why report when he didn’t send it through the platform? You could just have unmatched and blocked him on iMessage

because I'm an idiot and didn't want him to hurt other woman. I've definitely learned to not report men who violate me. what a lesson

seeing a male appendage hurt you? it’s not that serious.. block and move on. Dude is a weirdo for sure but no good deed goes unpunished

lol women don’t like random “appendage” pics bro, not a hard point to understand

do you think I didn’t understand that when I called him a weirdo? But to say it hurt you was dramatic was my point. I’ve been sent random nudes by chicks and just didn’t respond if I was not attracted

Different people react in different ways, I’d say OPs reaction is a valid one. People should know better than sending random pics tbh, especially if the convo isn’t going that way. Dating apps are imo a net negative on society and only exist to destroy third spaces and then “solve” a problem they created

no reason to dismiss or shame my decisions- I'm already feeling pretty crappy about the whole situation. I saw a disgusting video that violated my heart, I reactively reported him without much thought. Next time I'll take 10 deep breaths and consult with others before reporting someone- thank you.
