Rules & Guidelines

Fan Room Rules

Official Whistles / WhistlePlus: keep league discussion respectful and help protect your community.

Rule 1

Respectful league discussion

Keep Fan Room discussion respectful, relevant to your league, and focused on games, officiating, and the sports conversation. Disagree with ideas without attacking people.

Rule 2

No harassment, bullying, or threats

Harassment, bullying, intimidation, stalking, and threats of violence or harm are prohibited. Do not encourage others to target a person.

Rule 3

No hate or discrimination

Hateful or discriminatory content, slurs, and attacks based on protected characteristics are prohibited.

Rule 4

No sexual exploitation or prohibited explicit content

Sexual exploitation, sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate content, and sexually explicit content are prohibited. Do not request, share, or promote such material.

Rule 5

No illegal activity

Do not promote, facilitate, or coordinate illegal activity, or distribute illegal content.

Rule 6

Protect private information

Doxxing and sharing another person's private or identifying information without permission are prohibited. Do not post passwords, private contact details, financial information, or private messages without authorization.

Rule 7

No spam, scams, or impersonation

Spam, scams, phishing, deceptive links, and impersonating another person, commissioner, moderator, or Official Whistles representative are prohibited.

Rule 8

No abusive or off-topic disruption

Do not flood discussions, repeatedly derail league conversations, evade restrictions, or use abusive behavior to disrupt a Fan Room.

Rule 9

Reporting, blocking, and moderation

Use the Fan Room report control to flag content or behavior and provide relevant context. Use block controls to limit interactions with another user; blocking does not replace reporting a safety concern. Commissioners and authorized moderators may review reports, remove content, restrict posting, or limit access for rule violations. Posting restrictions prevent further posting while they apply. Contact support if you cannot use an in-app control.

Report review and safety

Reports are reviewed promptly. Credible safety threats are prioritized.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. Do not rely on a Fan Room report for emergency help. A moderation appeal does not disclose reporter identities or private moderator notes.
