Community rules

Comments on PitchVAR are public and written by fans. These rules are the whole law — short enough to actually read.

1. Banter is football. Abuse isn't.

Rivalry, mockery of a bad performance, arguing a referee call, calling a transfer a disaster — all welcome. The line is people: attack the play, not the person.

2. No harassment or bullying.

Don't target another user or a player with repeated insults, threats, or campaigns to drive them out. Disagreement is fine; pursuit isn't.

3. No hate.

Attacks on people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability are removed on sight. This includes coded slurs and "just a joke" variants. Zero tolerance.

4. No threats or violence.

No threatening, wishing, or glorifying harm against anyone — players, referees, users, anyone. This is the fastest way to lose an account.

5. No private information.

Don't post anyone's address, phone number, workplace, or any personal detail that isn't already public — yours included.

6. No spam or manipulation.

No flooding, advertising, link-farming, vote games, or pretending to be someone you're not. One account per person.

7. Nothing illegal.

No content that breaks the law, including match-fixing talk offered as fact, pirated streams, or anything involving minors inappropriately — the last one is reported, not just removed.

How it's enforced

Any user can flag a comment (you can't flag your own). A flagged comment is hidden while it's reviewed. Comments that break these rules are removed; repeat or severe violations end the account. Deliberately false flagging counts as manipulation. If you think a removal was wrong, say so through the contact form — a person reads it.
