Social Sports Club makes it easy to express yourself, find andregister for sports, connect with friends and make new ones, but pleaseremember that what you post publicly could embarrass you or expose youto danger. Here are some common sense guidelines that you should followwhen using the Social Sports Club website:
- Don't forget that your profile and Social Sports Club forums are public spaces.Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., yourphone number, address, IM screens name, or specific whereabouts). Avoidposting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you,such as where you hang out every day after school.
- People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about addingstrangers to your friends list. It's fun to connect with new Social Sports Clubfriends from all over the USA, but avoid meeting people in personwhom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a publicplace and bring a friend or trusted adult.
- Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported.If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Talk with atrusted adult, or report it to Social Sports Club or the authorities.
- Don't post anything that would embarrass you later. Think twice beforeposting a photo or info you wouldn't want your parents or boss to see!
- Don't mislead people into thinking that you're older or younger. If youare under 14 and pretend to be older, customer service will delete yourprofile. If you are over 18 and pretend to be a teenager to contactunderage users, customer service will delete your profile.
- Don’t get hooked by a phishing scam. Phishing is a method used byfraudsters to try to get your personal information, such as yourusername and password, by pretending to be a site you trust
