Atlanta Falcons Code of Conduct

Below is the Atlanta Falcons Code of Conduct – terms of use that every site visitor to any of the site’s interactive areas (including, but not limited to: message boards, live chats, social media platforms, microsites, article comments and other interactive areas such as polls and contests) must adhere to and accept without condition.

By using the Atlanta Falcons’ service, you agree not to engage in any of the following behavior in any of the aforementioned interactive web properties or any other Falcons-owned or operated property that involves user interaction:

• Any communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, threaten or cause embarrassment to a fellow member.
• Material that contains vulgar, obscene or indecent language or images.
• Any communication that contains spam (multiple copies in one area or the same communication in multiple areas).
• Material that defames, abuses or threatens others.
• Statements that are bigoted, hateful or racially offensive.
• Material that advocates illegal activity or discusses illegal activities with the intent to commit them.
• Unauthorized copyrighted material.
• Advertising or any form of commercial solicitation.
• Off-topic material that impedes or otherwise prohibits communication; disrupts the discussion including, without limitation, using fan names in topical boards that are offensive to the topic, the team, the sport and/or its fans, and repeatedly posting off-topic messages in a topical message board.

Communicating in a chat room or within a message board community is different from face-to-face communication. Online, only the words are seen, not your facial expressions or tone of voice. Please pay careful attention to how you use your words.

Remember that behavior that arises impulsively or out of anger will be there for you and everyone else to see, usually long after those intense feelings have passed. We do not want to discourage spontaneity, but we would like to reinforce the long-term existence and effects of what you publish.

You may, from time to time, find yourself in disagreement with someone else’s opinion. Remember that it’s safer and more polite to take issue with the comments rather than the person. Statements or postings that violate the above terms will be deleted from postings upon discovery. While we may attempt to notify you if we move or delete a post, we are under no obligation to do so. Depending on the nature of the violation, the Atlanta Falcons – at their sole discretion – may terminate a customer’s account and prohibit access to interactive site features in the future.
