Safety Tips For Staying Safe While Interacting With Other Students On Schooloverflow

At Schooloverflow, we are committed to making our platform safe for all users and free from scams. For this reason, we do not allow private chats or direct messaging (DM). All interactions should take place in the chatrooms, ensuring a secure and transparent environment for everyone.


While using Schooloverflow, you are responsible for how you interact with others. Schooloverflow does not check users’ backgrounds or personal history, so we cannot guarantee how others will behave on the platform.


To help protect your safety and privacy, never share personal details like your last name, phone number, address, email, or any other identifying information.

It’s important to remember that, while many users may be trustworthy, there are people online who could misrepresent themselves or lie about their identity.

If you feel uncertain or uncomfortable in any interaction, it’s best to limit contact and disengage from the conversation.


Please be cautious with interactions and remember to prioritize your safety.

Schooloverflow strongly advises against meeting anyone in real life whom you've only interacted with online.

Online interactions can sometimes feel familiar, but it's critical to remember that not everyone may have good intentions.


If you come across any inappropriate content or behavior, or notice users who appear to be underage, please report them immediately.

You can report users by using the 'Report' link found on photo or profile pages, or you can reach out to us directly at support@schooloverflow.com .

When reporting, provide as many details as possible about the profile or content, along with a description of the concern.

By reporting suspicious activity, you contribute to making Schooloverflow a safer and more enjoyable place for everyone.


Please also note that the official Schooloverflow WhatsApp group is used solely for sharing important school updates and information related to Schooloverflow.

The admin will never chat with you directly on WhatsApp or any other personal messaging platform.

If someone claims to be the admin on WhatsApp, it is likely a scam. Always verify through the Schooloverflow platform and report any suspicious behavior.


Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful, positive community.

Remember, your safety is our priority, and we encourage you to remain cautious and mindful in all interactions on Schooloverflow.
