Community Guidelines
Step 5 is a training community built on respect. These rules apply to every athlete, trainer, and coach — free and paid alike. Breaking them can get content removed and accounts warned, suspended, or banned.
What we don't allow
Harassment & Bullying
No targeted abuse, insults, doxxing, or repeated unwanted contact toward any member — athletes, trainers, and coaches.
Hate Speech
No attacks or slurs based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.
Threats & Intimidation
No threats of violence, self-harm promotion, or intimidation of any kind. Credible threats are escalated immediately.
Sexual Content & Exploitation
No nudity, sexual content, or exploitation. Content endangering minors is removed and reported to the authorities and NCMEC.
Inappropriate Contact with Minors
No grooming, sexualized conversation, or inappropriate interactions with young athletes. We take child safety extremely seriously.
Impersonation & Fake Accounts
No pretending to be another person, coach, or organization, or running fake or duplicate accounts.
Fraud & Scams
No payment fraud, phishing, fake offers, or schemes targeting our members.
Spam & Malicious Content
No spam, malicious links, malware, or content designed to disrupt the community.
Safety & Support
How moderation works
Reports are reviewed by our moderation team with a 24-hour target for urgent reports. Credible threats and child-safety concerns are escalated immediately. Automated screening also reviews posts, comments, and messages before they reach the community. When you report content, your identity is protected from the person you reported.
