Community Guidelines

FootyCircle is for adults who want football to be welcoming, reliable, and safe—online and at the pitch.

Pre-release notice: this policy reflects the current FootyCircle beta design and will be reviewed before public launch.

Respect people

  • No harassment, stalking, threats, bullying, hate speech, discriminatory abuse, or unwanted sexual conduct.
  • Do not share another person's private information, live location, health data, or private messages without permission.
  • Respect boundaries in messages and at games. A block, refusal, or request to stop must be honoured.

Keep games trustworthy

  • Hosts must describe the time, place, format, price, and cancellation expectations accurately.
  • Players should update attendance promptly and must not manipulate ratings, votes, payments, or refunds.
  • Do not impersonate clubs, organisers, players, officials, or FootyCircle staff.

Post lawful, appropriate content

  • Only upload content you have the right to share.
  • No scams, spam, malware, illegal sales, exploitative content, or instructions intended to cause harm.
  • FootyCircle is 18+, but sexual exploitation content involving minors is prohibited and may be reported to relevant authorities.

Reporting and enforcement

Reports are reviewed according to context, severity, history, and available evidence. We may remove content, limit features, suspend accounts, preserve restricted safety evidence, or contact authorities where legally required. Knowingly false or abusive reporting may itself lead to action.

Appeals

If you believe moderation action was mistaken, email raghavsubedii@gmail.com with the relevant reference and a concise explanation. Do not send sensitive evidence unless requested through an approved channel.
