Community Guidelines
Working draft · Updated 19 October 2026 · Version LEGAL-DRAFT-0.4
PadelScroll should be a welcoming place for padel players. Pakistan is the initial intended launch market. Future plans include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf markets; Spain, the Netherlands and France; Argentina; the United States and Canada; Australia; and potentially other countries. These are not approved launches. These draft rules must be paired with working reporting, trained moderation, child-safety escalation and appeal procedures—and an all-ages access model that follows applicable law and implements any required age/guardian controls—before public launch in each market.
Respect each other
- Do not bully, harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate or target someone with hateful abuse.
- Do not impersonate another person, expose private information, evade a block or coordinate abuse.
- Do not spam, phish, manipulate reviews, run scams or use fake profiles/listings to deceive others.
Protect children and teens
- PadelScroll prohibits child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), including grooming, sextortion, trafficking and sexual exploitation. Creating, requesting, uploading, sharing or storing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is prohibited.
- Do not pressure or ask a child to share a home address, school, precise live location, phone number, passwords, intimate images, or other identifying information, or to move into secret or unsafe contact.
- Do not use groups, voice notes, direct messages, images or Marketplace interactions to target or exploit a minor.
- Report suspected CSAE/CSAM or unsafe contact urgently through the available report flow or verified child-safety contact. Do not download, save, forward or repost suspected illegal material. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. PadelScroll must establish and follow the reporting/escalation steps required by applicable law before launch.
Content, media and intellectual property
- Do not post unlawful content, credible threats, exploitative imagery, dangerous instructions, stolen material or content that infringes another person's rights.
- Only upload photos, videos, voice notes and other media that you have permission and legal rights to share.
- Respect profile privacy, group boundaries and the expectations of message recipients.
Marketplace integrity
- Listings must be accurate and lawful. No counterfeit or stolen goods, prohibited items, fraud, misleading images or fake reviews.
- Use caution with payment, shipping and personal information. Report suspicious activity through the Marketplace's verified safety route.
Reporting and enforcement
The launched product must provide a clear, accessible way to report profiles, posts, comments/replies, direct/group messages and Marketplace listings, with a child-safety/CSAE reason and a distinct urgent escalation path. Reports must reach a monitored, access-controlled queue with a named child-safety contact, triage priorities, response expectations, evidence-handling rules, account/content restriction procedures and an appropriate appeal/review path. The final process must address CSAM removal and legally required reporting without asking users to re-share the material. Until these controls are implemented and tested, this draft does not promise that in-app reporting is available.
Enforcement may include content removal, limitations, temporary suspension or account termination, taking context, safety and applicable law into account. Where appropriate, users should have a way to appeal. In an immediate emergency, contact local emergency services.
