MATTRIX Community Guidelines **Effective date:** August 29, 2026 MATTRIX is a training community. Compete hard on the mat; treat people with respect off it. These rules apply to profiles, photos, captions, Partner requests, messages or comments if introduced, and any other user-generated content or interaction. ## 1. Respect other athletes Do not harass, bully, threaten, stalk, humiliate, or repeatedly contact someone who has made it clear they do not want contact. Disagreement about jiu-jitsu is fine; targeted abuse is not. ## 2. No hateful or dehumanizing content Do not attack or demean people based on protected or deeply personal characteristics. Do not promote extremist violence or organizations dedicated to such violence. ## 3. Protect privacy Do not post someone else's private contact details, precise location, private training notes, medical information, account credentials, or other sensitive information without permission. Obtain appropriate permission before posting identifiable photos of other people. ## 4. Keep sexual and exploitative content off MATTRIX Do not post pornography, sexual exploitation, sexual solicitation, or non-consensual intimate content. Content that sexualizes minors is strictly prohibited. ## 5. No credible threats or promotion of real-world violence Jiu-jitsu technique and combat-sport discussion are expected. Credible threats, celebration of serious real-world harm, instructions intended to facilitate violent wrongdoing, or attempts to organize violence are not. ## 6. No illegal activity, fraud, or impersonation Do not use MATTRIX to facilitate illegal transactions, fraud, scams, credential theft, or deceptive impersonation. Do not falsely claim another athlete's identity, academy role, belt, or credentials in a way intended to deceive. ## 7. No spam or manipulative growth tactics Do not send repetitive Partner requests, automate unwanted outreach, scrape profiles, buy/sell accounts, manipulate engagement, or use MATTRIX primarily for unsolicited promotion. ## 8. Respect intellectual property Post content you own or have permission to use. Do not upload pirated instructionals, copyrighted event footage, logos, or other protected material without authorization or a lawful basis. ## 9. Train responsibly MATTRIX can organize training information, but it is not a substitute for qualified coaching, medical care, or good judgment. Do not encourage another user to ignore injuries, medical advice, gym safety rules, or a training partner's tap or withdrawal of consent. ## 10. Reporting, blocking, and enforcement Before public social launch, MATTRIX will provide accessible ways to report content/users and block unwanted users. We may remove content, limit features, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts based on severity, repetition, risk, and applicable law. In urgent situations involving credible danger, contact local emergency services. Report abuse: **support@mattrixbjj.com** Support: **https://mattrixbjj.com/support** ## 11. Appeals Where appropriate, users may ask us to review an enforcement decision by contacting **support@mattrixbjj.com**. We may decline appeals that are abusive, duplicative, or legally restricted.
