Community Guidelines

Sports Global Community Guidelines

Sports Global is built for leagues and fans to enjoy sport, share opinions, and connect. These Community Guidelines apply anywhere you can interact on the Platform (including FanHub posts, comments, replies, reactions, messages, profiles, usernames, and uploads).

If you see content that breaks these rules, please report it in-app or email support@sportsglobal.eu.

1) Be respectful

We welcome strong opinions - we do not tolerate abuse.

Allowed:

• Criticism of teams, tactics, refereeing decisions, and performances

• Banter that stays respectful and does not target protected groups or individuals
  

Not allowed:

• Harassment, bullying, intimidation, or threats

• Targeted personal attacks (especially repeated)

• Encouraging others to dogpile or harass someone
  

2) No hate, discrimination, or incitement

Not allowed:

• Hate speech or degrading content targeting someone based on race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other protected characteristics

• Content that supports or praises extremist ideologies

• Calls for violence or harm, or content that glorifies violence
  

3) Keep it safe and legal

Not allowed:

• Instructions or encouragement for illegal activity

• Content that promotes dangerous activities likely to cause real-world harm

• Sharing illegal substances or controlled goods

• Depictions of real-world violence or injury in a graphic way
  

4) Protect privacy and personal information

Not allowed:

• Posting someone’s personal information without permission (“doxxing”), including phone numbers, addresses, IDs, private emails, bank details, or private messages

• Sharing someone else’s location in real time

• Posting content involving minors in a way that is exploitative, sexualized, or otherwise unsafe
  

If you believe a minor is at risk, report immediately.

5) No sexual exploitation or sexual content involving minors

Not allowed:

• Any sexual content involving minors (this includes jokes, “suggestive” content, or “age-play” content)

• Sexual exploitation, coercion, or non-consensual sexual content
  

We will remove this content immediately and may report it where required.

6) No impersonation or deception

Not allowed:

• Pretending to be another person, team official, league official, player, or staff member

• Misleading others about your identity in a way that causes harm

• Creating fake accounts to manipulate discussions or engagement
  

Parody is allowed only if it’s clearly not misleading and doesn’t target someone for harassment.

7) No spam, scams, or manipulation

Not allowed:

• Spam, repetitive posting, mass mentions, engagement bait

• Scams, phishing, pyramid schemes, fake giveaways, or fraudulent links

• Coordinated manipulation (brigading, vote/reaction manipulation)

• Unauthorised advertising or affiliate promotion
  

8) Copyright and content ownership

Only post content you have rights to share.

Not allowed:

• Uploading copyrighted videos, broadcasts, or full match clips without permission

• Reposting paid or licensed content in a way that infringes rights
  

If you believe your rights are being infringed, contact support@sportsglobal.eu.

9) Nudity and explicit content

We’re a sports platform first. Keep content appropriate for a broad audience.

Not allowed:

• Pornographic or explicit sexual content

• Non-consensual intimate imagery

• Graphic nudity
  

Limited nudity in non-sexual contexts may be restricted and is reviewed case-by-case.

10) Sport integrity and abuse of officials

Not allowed:

• Threats toward referees/officials, players, coaches, or staff

• Coordinating real-world harassment

• Attempts to influence match outcomes or promote match-fixing

11) Reporting and enforcement

We use a combination of user reports, automated signals, and moderator review.

If you break these rules, we may:

• remove content,

• restrict visibility (“limited distribution”),

• issue warnings,

• apply temporary limits (e.g., posting cooldowns),

• temporarily suspend your account,

• permanently ban your account.
  

Severe violations may result in immediate suspension or permanent ban.

12) Repeat offenders

Accounts that repeatedly violate these Guidelines may face escalating penalties even if each individual incident is “minor.” We may also restrict accounts with unusually high report rates or suspicious behavior patterns while we review.

13) Appeals

If you believe a moderation action was incorrect, you can request a review by contacting support@sportsglobal.eu and including:

• your account email/username,

• the action you’re appealing,

• why you believe it was incorrect,

• any context or supporting information.
  

14) Updates

We may update these Guidelines as the Platform evolves. Material changes will be posted on the Platform.
