07 — Identity, Naming, and Content Standards
Scoreholio users, players, organizers, clubs, leagues, teams, and organizations are expected to represent themselves accurately and use names, branding, logos, profiles, events, tournaments, discussions, images, posts, comments, and other content in a way that does not mislead, impersonate, harass, or confuse other users.
This standard applies to all user-generated content on Scoreholio, including player names, display names, club names, league names, organization names, tournament names, event names, team names, Group Discussions, posts, comments, images, logos, profiles, descriptions, and any other user-submitted content.
Users may not:
- Impersonate another player, organizer, club, league, organization, business, brand, sponsor, or Scoreholio.
- Create names, profiles, clubs, leagues, tournaments, events, teams, or content that falsely suggests official affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, ownership, authorization, or approval.
- Use names, branding, logos, images, or descriptions that are likely to confuse users about identity, affiliation, ownership, sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization.
- Misrepresent an organization’s relationship with another organization.
- Use names, logos, branding, images, or content that infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
- Knowingly use another person’s, business’s, club’s, league’s, or organization’s protected branding without authorization.
- Use vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, discriminatory, harassing, threatening, or abusive names or content.
- Create content intended to intimidate, shame, target, harass, or harm another person, organizer, club, league, business, or organization.
- Use names, branding, profiles, events, clubs, leagues, tournaments, discussions, posts, comments, images, or other content to deceive, scam, defraud, mislead, or confuse users.
Scoreholio may review reported or discovered content and may take action when we believe content violates these standards or creates confusion, safety concerns, or platform integrity concerns. Actions may include requesting changes, requiring additional differentiation between names or organizations, changing or removing content, changing displayed names, restricting visibility or functionality, suspending accounts, terminating accounts, or taking other appropriate action.

09 — AI-Powered Moderation
Scoreholio uses automated artificial intelligence tools to help monitor content in the Chat and Group Discussion features.

Automated flags may result in content being hidden pending human review, or in immediate removal for high-confidence violations.
We recognize that automated tools are not perfect. If you believe content was removed in error due to automated moderation, please contact support@scoreholio.com to request a manual review.
10 — Global Community Standards
Scoreholio operates as a global platform. Users in all countries are expected to comply with this Code regardless of local norms or laws. In addition, users must comply with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction. Conduct that is legal in one country may still violate this Code if it harms other users or undermines the community.
We are committed to providing a platform that is welcoming and accessible to users around the world, and we will enforce this Code consistently and fairly across all regions.
11 — Changes to This Code
Scoreholio may update this Code from time to time to reflect changes to our platform, community, or applicable law.
