# Safety and community standards on POG

Canonical URL: https://platformofgreatness.com/safety

> Platform of Greatness safety standards: code of conduct, account rules, posting guidelines, reporting and blocking, parent oversight, youth safety, and respectful sports community behavior.

POG maintains clear community standards, account and posting rules, reporting and blocking tools, parent oversight for youth participation, and moderation principles designed for respectful sports conduct — especially where minors are involved.

## POG code of conduct

Every member is expected to participate respectfully. Harassment, hate speech, threats, bullying, and abusive behavior are not tolerated on Platform of Greatness.

## Community standards

POG is a sports community platform. Content and communication should support constructive participation — coaching, development, teamwork, and healthy competition.

## Account rules

Accounts must represent real participation in sports. Impersonation, spam, fraudulent accounts, and attempts to circumvent restrictions violate POG account rules.

## Posting rules

Posts, forums, and shared media must follow community standards. Do not post illegal content, explicit material involving minors, private information without consent, or content intended to harm others.

## Messaging and community behavior

Direct and team messaging must remain respectful and appropriate. Unsolicited contact, grooming behavior, and harassment through messages are prohibited and may result in account action.

## Parent oversight

Youth sports parent oversight is a first-class POG priority. Guardian-managed accounts and family visibility help parents stay informed about child participation where the product requires adult oversight.

## Reporting and blocking

Members can report content and behavior that violates standards. Blocking tools help users limit unwanted contact. Reports are reviewed according to POG moderation principles.

## Youth and minor safety

POG treats youth safety seriously. Features involving minors are designed with guardian awareness, restricted autonomy where required, and auditability for sensitive actions.

## Moderation principles

Moderation prioritizes safety — especially for minors — while preserving fair process. Repeated or severe violations may result in warnings, restrictions, or account removal.

## Respectful conduct in sports

Competition should stay on the field. POG expects coaches, parents, athletes, and fans to model sportsmanship online the same way we expect it in games and practices.
