Keep match discussion safe and constructive

Prohibited content

Do not post:

• Harassment, bullying, humiliation, or targeted personal abuse.
• Hateful or discriminatory language aimed at a protected group.
• Threats or encouragement of violence or self-harm.
• Sexually explicit, exploitative, or pornographic material.
• Content promoting illegal activity or dangerous conduct.
• Content encouraging underage drinking or dangerous or excessive alcohol consumption.
• Private information, impersonation, or content that violates another person’s rights.
• Repeated messages, excessive links, manipulation, or disruptive spam.
• Attempts to disguise prohibited content with altered spelling, characters, punctuation, or spacing.

Automated filtering

The backend evaluates every authenticated comment before storing it. It rejects empty or oversized posts, configured prohibited phrases, excessive links, repeated characters or words, and recent duplicate comments. Rejected text is not stored. Filter logs use non-content decision codes and do not include the rejected comment, password, or session token.

Automated checks cannot understand every context. Passing a filter does not mean that a post complies with these standards.

Reporting a comment

A signed-in user can open a comment’s actions, choose Report Comment, select a reason, and optionally add context. Reports are private: public feeds do not expose the report or reporter identity. Duplicate and excessive submissions are limited so that one account cannot overwhelm the queue.

Emilio Garcia reviews reports as the tournament operator. The normal response commitment is within three business days. Reports are not monitored continuously.

Blocking an account

A signed-in user can choose Block User and confirm to hide that account’s comments from their own view. The blocked list is available under Account → Blocked Users. Unblocking restores the account’s comments on the next refresh.

Blocking is private. It does not notify the blocked account, create a report, remove a comment for anyone else, or grant moderation access. Guest feeds are not personalized by a block list.

Moderation outcomes

After review, the operator may:

• Dismiss a report when no violation is found.
• Mark a report reviewed while investigation continues.
• Remove a violating comment from public match feeds and resolve related reports.

Removing a comment refreshes connected app clients. Moderation records are handled according to the privacy policy.

Questions and appeals

Email ruskisupport@gmail.com with the match, approximate comment time, and reason for the question. Do not send passwords, session tokens, or copies of harmful content. The normal response time is within three business days.
