Community Policy

Before you can post in the Fan Feed for the first time, they must agree to the Topps Digital Community Policy. These guidelines are in place to make the Topps Digital community experience great for everyone.

Violating one or more of the policies could result in actions ranging from a time-out from trading to a permanent suspension of your account.

 

Moderation Policy 

  • Card Trader moderators adhere to a “Three Strikes” policy and are constantly keeping an eye on the feeds. Fans can help keep a good atmosphere with flagging comments or reporting the bad community member to the Topps Customer Service team.
  • Consistent abuse of these community guidelines, and/or abuse over multiple accounts, will not be tolerated and will have appropriate action taken. Always remember, we’re here to have fun together.

 

3 Strikes You're Out*

  • Fans can police other Fans in Card Trader using the comment flags. Three flags on one account will alert the Topps Customer Service team who then may enact a suspension if the flags are deserved. We will not tolerate any kind of abuse to the system, so the three flags must be from three different Fans.
  • For example: TOPPSFAN1 can flag three comments from TOPPSFAN10, but TOPPSFAN10 may not be suspended. However, if TOPPSFAN1, TOPPSFAN2, and TOPPSFAN3 each flag a comment of TOPPSFAN10, the user will likely be suspended.
  • Three Strike Policy applies to Fan suspensions themselves. The first suspension that a user receives will last for 24-hours. The second will last for 72-hours. And the third suspension will be permanent.
    • *Note: the Three Strike Policy is exercised at our discretion.
  • Believe you were wrongly suspended? Reach out to the Topps Digital team for help. Be warned though, complaints will be fully vetted and any users found making false statements will lose their right to appeal. Abuse of Topps Digital social media spaces may result in consequences.

YOUR ACCOUNTS

  • While it's fine to trade with friends and family, multiple lopsided trades where only one account consistently benefits from the trades is considered cycling and could lead to a permanent ban on any and all involved accounts.
  • No 'hoarding coins' with the sole purpose of cycling cards or awards.
  • Do not give out personal information including your password or registered email address.
