Child Safety Policy – LadyGolfersForum

1. Introduction

At LadyGolfersForum, the safety of our users is a top priority. We are committed to maintaining a secure, respectful environment for all members. Our forum strictly prohibits any content related to child sexual abuse or exploitation (CSAE). We have a zero-tolerance policy for any sexual or suggestive material involving minors (anyone under 18 years of age), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We actively work to prevent, detect, remove, and report such content as required by law and in line with industry standards.

2. What Is Not Allowed

We absolutely forbid the use of this forum for any activity or content that involves child harm, including but not limited to:

🚫 Predatory Behavior

• Attempting to “groom” minors online
• Sharing media or messages that sexualize or exploit children
• Sextortion or any form of blackmail involving minors
• Soliciting or advertising minors for any type of exploitation

🚫 CSAM

• Posting or distributing images, videos, text, or links that show or promote sexual abuse of minors
• Soliciting or trading CSAM in any way
• Violating child protection laws in any form

Any user found violating this policy will be permanently banned and reported to law enforcement immediately

3. Our Standards and Tools

4. How We Detect and Respond

To protect our community, we use:

• Automated tools (like hash-matching and AI filters) to flag known or suspected CSAM
• User reporting tools inside the forum to flag concerning posts
• Manual reviews by trained moderators and administrators to act on reports quickly

5. Our Safety Team

We have a dedicated safety and moderation team responsible for reviewing reports, enforcing community rules, and working with law enforcement when required.

If you ever come across suspicious or harmful content involving minors, please report it immediately through our platform tools or by contacting our team using our Contact Us link.

  • The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
  • The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
