Community rules

Fayd is for golfers. Talk the way golfers talk: trash talk, swearing at a three-putt and a good argument about the best driver are all fine here. These rules are about one thing: not harming people.

What is not okay

• Threats and violence. Do not threaten anyone, or encourage violence against them, including sexual violence. Playful banter between friends ("I'm going to beat you on the back nine") is fine. A real threat is not.
• Hate. No slurs, and no attacks on people for their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or where they are from.
• Harassment. Do not target someone over and over, keep contacting them after they asked you to stop, wish harm on them or tell them to hurt themselves. Do not share someone's private details, such as a home address or phone number, and do not pretend to be someone else.
• Sexual content. No nudity and no sexually explicit photos, posts or messages.
• Spam and scams. No repeated promotions, fake offers or tricks to get money or details out of people.
• Illegal things. Nothing that breaks the law.
• Under 18. Fayd is for people 18 and over. If you think a member is younger, please report them.

What is fine

• Swearing and ordinary bad language.
• Golf trash talk, jokes and friendly teasing.
• Strong opinions about courses, gear, pace of play or the rules of golf.
• Disagreeing with someone, as long as you are not going after them as a person.

How these rules are enforced

• People decide. Members can report posts, comments and profiles. Fayd also flags posts and comments that may contain threats, hate or wishes of harm so a moderator can look at them. A flag is only a heads-up. Nothing is removed and nobody is banned automatically.
• What moderators can do. Delete a post or comment, or ban an account for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or permanently. Repeated or serious breaks of these rules get longer bans. Credible threats and anything sexual involving minors lead to a permanent ban.
• What a ban means. You can still read Fayd, but you cannot post, comment, message or plan rounds until the ban ends. The top of the app shows the reason and when it ends.

Reporting and blocking

• Tap the three dots on a post or comment and choose Report. On someone's profile, use the three dots there. The person you report is never told it was you.
• You can block anyone at any time, from their profile.

These rules can change as Fayd grows. Privacy policy · Back to Fayd
