Tell us if you see something unsafe, untrustworthy, or unprofessional

If you see something you believe may violate our policies, whether in profiles, posts, messages, comments, or anywhere else, please report it to us. Combined with our automated defenses, these reports help us identify and prevent abuse and misbehavior. Please use the reporting tools responsibly and only for their intended purposes.

These policies apply to all members. Depending on the severity of violation, we may limit the visibility of certain content or remove it entirely. If you believe a particular item of content was removed in error, you can appeal from the link provided in the removal notice.

Do not create a fake profile or falsify information about yourself: We don’t allow fake profiles or entities.

Do not use our invitation feature to send promotional messages to people you don’t know or to otherwise spam people. Please make the effort to create original, professional, relevant, and interesting content in order to gain popularity, instead of trying ways to artificially increase the number of views, re-shares, likes, or comments.

Be professional

We require content to be relevant and on topic, such as sharing and gaining new athletic connections; teaching and acquiring new skills; and engaging in actions that allow you and others to be more productive and successful in your athletic pursuits.
