How-to
Skip etiquette for random private chat
Skip is how random chat stays kind. You do not owe strangers a long exit interview — and they do not owe you one either.
Skip early if the vibe is wrong
If the first messages feel pushy, creepy, or simply boring for you, Skip. Chatkode random chat is built for private encrypted 1:1 rooms — not for enduring awkwardness out of politeness.
A quick Skip is usually kinder than ghosting inside a thread you already dislike.
Skip vs Block vs Report
Skip = not a fit. Block = I do not want this person again. Report = this crossed a safety line. Using the right tool keeps the product safer for everyone.
Harassment, scam scripts, and sexual pressure after a clear no are Report territory — not “just Skip and hope.”
Be a Match worth keeping
Open with a normal hello. Respect Skip if the other person leaves. Do not demand personal details, photos, or a phone number as a condition of chatting.
Chatkode is not a dating app. Treat strangers like people in a private room, not like profiles to convert.
After a good conversation
If a Match goes well, you can keep chatting in that private thread. Claim within 24 hours if you want history to stick.
You still do not need to exchange phone numbers. Continuity on Chatkode is optional and under your control.
