Sports brings people together and builds communities, and the Toronto Maple Leafs want to ensure that our community, whether it is together in Scotiabank Arena or through our social media channels, is inclusive and safe. All Toronto Maple Leafs fans should feel welcome and below are some simple guidelines to ensure that.
The Toronto Maple Leafs social media pages were created to unite ALL of our fans across the globe. We stand strongly against any offensive or discriminatory content and want to ensure every fan feels a part of the Toronto Maple Leafs community.
Our social pages are our virtual arenas and require the same respectful behaviour as our physical venues. If someone violates any of our guidelines it will result in those comments being deleted or their account being banned from participating on our pages. Any content that contains:
- Violence, fighting, threatening, taunting, physical or verbal harassment.
- Making abusive, sexist, racist, offensive or obscene remarks or gestures.
- Disruptive, harmful or disorderly behavior.
If a comment doesn't comply with the following basic rules, it may be delayed, or in some cases, not be published:
- If your posts are violent, threatening, taunting, endorsing or promoting physical or verbal harassment
- If your posts include profanity, defamatory, libelous, offensive, abusive, discriminatory or demeaning content (including images, videos and links);
- If your posts are disparaging, threatening, condone violence or illegal behavior;
- If your posts are commercial, e.g. sells products and services, or recruit fans and followers;
- If your posts are excessively repetitive and/or disruptive to the community or are spam;
- If your posts contain proprietary, confidential, sensitive, or non-public information;
If your posts don't follow the appropriate platform guidelines:
- Facebook: Facebook's posting guidelines and Terms of Use.
- Twitter: Twitter's Terms of Service and Rules and Policies.
- YouTube: YouTube's Terms of Service.
Please be aware that fans who continuously and repeatedly contravene the above rules will be removed from our fan list. In this case the user would no longer be able to follow our news, comment on our posts, or send us messages.
