🔷 Loyal Blue — Community Rules & Guidelines

Welcome to Loyal Blue, a highly-vetted community of Rangers fans united by passion, respect, and pride in our club. To keep this space safe, authentic, and enjoyable for everyone, please read and follow these rules carefully.

📋 Membership Requirements

• ✅ You must have a normal, recognisable profile picture (not blank or obviously fake).
• 🗓️ Accounts less than 1 month old will not be approved.
• ❓ Membership questions must be fully answered and the rules agreed to.
• 🔷 Profiles with little or no Rangers-related content may be declined.
• 🚫 Do not direct-message admins or moderators to speed up approval — use our contact page instead.
• 🔞 Members must be 18+.
• 🔷 Only one account per person — no duplicate, fake, or impersonation accounts.
• 🔷 Profiles with no visible friends, posts, or activity may also be declined.
• 🔷 Fake names, false information, or suspicious behaviour may result in a ban.

If you believe you were declined in error or have additional information for us to review, please contact us here.

⏳ Activity & Participation

• 🔷 Members who are inactive for long periods (e.g., over 12 months) may be removed during clean-ups.
• 🔷 We encourage positive participation — lurking is fine, but disruptive or hostile behaviour is not tolerated.
• 🔷 Multiple brief joins and exits may be viewed as suspicious and lead to removal.

🚫 IPTV & Streaming Rules

• ❌ Sharing, requesting, discussing, or promoting IPTV (e.g., Firesticks, codes, links) is strictly forbidden.
• ❌ Do not share or promote streams or IPTV content from other groups.
• ⚠️ Do not advertise this group or its content in other Facebook groups — this puts us at risk.
• 🚨 Violating these rules may result in an immediate, permanent ban.

📄 Posting Guidelines

• 🔵 All posts are subject to admin approval — not all will be published, and we are not obliged to explain removals.
• ❌ Duplicate posts or topics already covered will be removed.
• ⚠️ Avoid posting unverified rumours, clickbait, or false information presented as fact.
• 📸 Excessive low-quality, irrelevant, or spammy photos/memes will not be tolerated.
• 🔷 All posts must be relevant to Rangers or the Loyalist cause.
• 🔷 Posts should be written clearly and respectfully — excessive swearing may be removed.
• 🔷 Off-topic political arguments, conspiracy theories, or irrelevant campaigns are not allowed.

🤝 Behaviour & Respect

• 🚫 No abuse, insults, racism, sectarianism, threats, harassment, or personal attacks.
• ⚠️ Avoid unnecessary arguments, sarcasm, or belittling other members.
• 📢 If you see a post that breaks the rules, use Facebook’s “Report to Admin” feature rather than engaging.
• 🔷 Do not escalate disputes publicly — contact the admin team if you need help resolving an issue.
• 🔷 Public arguments may result in muting, suspension, or bans — even if both parties are at fault.

🛡️ Privacy & Security

• 🔷 What happens in Loyal Blue stays in Loyal Blue — do not screenshot or share private group discussions without permission.
• 🔷 Respect members’ privacy — never post or reveal another member’s personal or sensitive information (“doxxing”).
• 🔷 Do not impersonate staff, other members, or external parties.

🎟️ Selling, Promoting & Advertising

• ✅ All advertising, promotions, sales, or fundraisers must receive prior admin approval.
• ✅ Tickets and merchandise must be sold at face value only — no profiteering or touting.
• ✅ Sellers must either promote Loyal Blue FM or offer discounts to members in return for advertising privileges.
• ⚠️ Loyal Blue is not responsible for any disputes between buyers, sellers, or promoters.
• 🔷 Unsolicited advertising, fundraising, or promotions unrelated to Rangers or the Loyalist cause are prohibited.

For approval requests, please contact us here.

🔷 Admin & Moderator Discretion

• ✅ Admins and moderators have full discretion to remove, mute, or ban members at any time to protect the group.
• ✅ All decisions are final and not open to debate — especially during busy periods or live content.
• 🚫 Abuse, threats, or harassment of staff will result in immediate removal.
• 📩 To contact the admin team, always use our official contact page — personal messages may be ignored.
• 🔷 Please be patient — admins are volunteers, and responses may take time during peak times.
