About
Community Guidelines.
Last updated September 15, 2026
This is a fan site. Argue about the play call, the depth chart and the officiating all you like — that is the point. These guidelines exist so the argument stays worth having.
The short version
Talk about the team, not the person. Rival fans are welcome and expected — a rivalry is only fun with someone on the other side of it.
Not allowed, ever
- Slurs and hate speech — racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, gender or disability-based.
- Harassment, pile-ons, or following someone around the site to needle them.
- Threats of violence, wishing injury on a player, or anything that reads as intimidation.
- Doxxing — posting anyone’s address, phone number, workplace or private information.
- Sexual content, and any sexualisation of a student athlete. No exceptions, no jokes.
- Spam, scams, affiliate spam, and ticket-sale bait.
- Impersonating a player, coach, staff member, reporter or another fan.
About student athletes
Most of the people we talk about here are college students, many of them teenagers. Criticise performance — that is fair game and always has been. Do not go after their character, their family, their appearance or their mental health, and do not chase them into their own social media on this site’s behalf. The same goes for recruits, who have not even arrived yet.
Rival Row
Rival Row is for fans of other programmes and it is a real part of this site, not a containment zone. Trash talk is welcome. The line is the same one as everywhere else: about the team, not the person.
Why there is no downvote
Threads can be upvoted and never downvoted. That is deliberate. A downvote button turns disagreement into a scoreboard and quietly teaches people to post the safe opinion. If a post is bad, reply to it or scroll past it; if it breaks a rule, report it.
Tools you have
- Block — works in both directions: neither of you sees the other’s posts, threads or comments, and neither can message, reply to, react to or mention the other. Any friendship ends. Where a blocked person is quoted by someone else, the quote is veiled behind a click rather than deleted, so the reply still makes sense.
- Report — pick a category and add context. Reports are anonymous to the person reported, and to the moderators.
- Verification — link a Google, Facebook or X account, or ask a moderator to verify you, so other fans know a real person is behind the account. Yosef Club verification is coming soon.
How all of it fits together is on Anti-Toxic by Design.
What happens when a rule is broken
Consequences escalate with severity and with repetition — see the Moderation Policy for exactly how. The Terms of Service cover the rest.
