Keep MYOPL communities safe, honest, and useful.

Being part of the MYOPL community is a commitment to mutual respect: we respect each other, ourselves, and the game.

That means treating people fairly, sharing content responsibly, and representing sportsmanship honestly. It also means using our reporting tools whenever behavior threatens the safety or integrity of our communities.

These commitments are backed by MYOPL’s Acceptable Use Policies, our Terms of Service, and these Community Standards. When we all respect the rules and each other, everyone wins. Here’s how we make that happen and what we expect of our members.

Where these standards apply

These standards apply to MYOPL profiles, usernames, direct and group conversations, Courts, Clubs, OPLs, Events, scores, ratings-related activity, media, invitations, suggestions, and other content or interactions provided through MYOPL.

They apply to members and to people acting as group admins, organizers, Court managers, Club officials, or other community representatives.

Conduct and content that are not allowed

  • Harassment, hate speech, threats, intimidation, or targeted abuse.
  • Discriminatory, unlawful, fraudulent, or deliberately misleading activity.
  • Spam, repetitive unsolicited promotion, scams, or attempts to obtain money, credentials, or personal information deceptively.
  • Impersonating another person or falsely presenting an affiliation, role, qualification, entity claim, or official decision.
  • Sexual exploitation, content that endangers minors, or instructions intended to facilitate serious harm.
  • Malware, credential theft, interference with the service, or unauthorized automated access.
  • Content that violates another person's privacy, copyright, trademark, publicity, or other rights.
  • Manipulating ratings, submitting fabricated results, operating deceptive duplicate accounts, or pressuring participants to confirm an inaccurate match.

Community integrity for sport

  • Record only matches that occurred and identify the actual participants, score, sport, and format.
  • Correct an error through the available result workflow rather than asking another player to confirm information they know is wrong.
  • Do not present unofficial guidance, automated output, or a personal opinion as an official rule, referee decision, medical instruction, or venue requirement.
  • Create or manage a Court, Club, OPL, Event, or group only when you have the appropriate authority and can keep its information accurate.
  • Respect venue rules, organizer decisions, participant privacy, and the safety boundaries described in the Health & Activity Safety policy.

Report a problem and protect yourself

  1. Open the relevant conversation, select the user or message controls, and choose Report.
  2. Choose the reason that best describes the issue and add useful factual details.
  3. Choose whether to block the member at the same time. Blocking and reporting are separate protections and can be used together.
  4. Submit the report. The current reporting flow includes the last five messages in the conversation for context, and MYOPL does not identify the reporter to the reported member.
  5. If there is an immediate threat or emergency, move to safety and contact the appropriate local emergency service. Do not wait for an in-app response.

Moderation and enforcement

MYOPL may review reported accounts, messages, media, entity information, results, and related context. Available action depends on the nature, severity, context, and history of the issue and on the moderation controls enabled for the affected feature.

Actions can include requesting a correction, limiting distribution or feature access, removing content, restricting an account or administrative role, preserving relevant records, or referring a matter to an appropriate authority where required.

Group admins can manage membership, permissions, approvals, suspensions, and group-level moderation settings. They are community managers, not MYOPL platform moderators, and their controls do not replace the Report and Block tools.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between reporting and blocking?

A report sends the issue and relevant context to MYOPL for review. Blocking limits contact between you and that member. You can do both when the situation calls for both review and immediate personal protection.

Does a group admin report replace a MYOPL report?

No. A group admin can use group membership and permission controls, but a platform-level concern should also be reported through MYOPL when that option is available.
