House by Blum & Co. is a private place for adults, with two separate clubs: the Men’s Club and the Women’s Club. We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and for any sexual content involving minors, in either club and in private messages between the clubs. This page explains what is not allowed, how to report it, and what we do when we learn of it.
Adults only
Both clubs are for adults aged 18 and older. To join, every member gives a date of birth and confirms being 18 or older; anyone under 18 cannot continue. Every profile photo must show the member’s face. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to use the app or our websites. If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we remove it.
What is not allowed
- Any content that sexualizes minors, in any form (photos, videos, drawings, text, audio or links).
- Grooming, or any attempt to contact, befriend or solicit a minor for sexual or exploitative purposes.
- Soliciting, sharing, requesting or linking to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any exploitative material involving minors.
- Encouraging, planning or praising child sexual abuse or exploitation.
How to report
- In the app, open the menu on a post, story or message and choose Report, or open a member’s profile and choose Report. In a private chat with someone in the other club, choose Report in the chat’s info.
- In the Men’s Club on Android and at app.oldboyzclub.com, open the menu on a post or reply, or a member’s profile, and choose Report.
- Choose the reason that fits, add details if you like, and send. The member is never told who reported them.
- You can also email team@oldboyzclub.com with a link or description of what you saw.
- You can block any member from their profile or from the chat, so you no longer see each other.
What we do
- Reports go to the club’s admin team (for private chats between the clubs, our Keys desk), who review them.
- We remove the offending content.
- The member is permanently removed from both clubs and may not rejoin with another account.
- We preserve the relevant evidence.
- If we find apparent child sexual abuse material, we report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and we cooperate with law enforcement as required by law.
