Community standards are necessary in order to keep things focused on Santa’s mission. Santa is not a huge believer in rules, opting instead to focus on logical behavior based on the Elf Code and the Elf Oath.

These standards have been established to help new elves understand specific expected behaviors while engaging the Elf Community:

General Rules

• Christmas, Santa, the North Pole, tracking Santa, candy canes, eggnog – it’s all fun. Fruitcake? Ok, maybe not fun.
• Please refrain from using profanity, hate speech, political discourse, or religious proselyting.
• All elves should be treated with kindness and respect. Bullying in any form is unacceptable.
• No spamming, advertising or self-promotion.
• No posting of copyrighted material.
• No solicitation in public or private.
• Inappropriate use of private messaging would include spam, harassment, solicitation, requests for personal information or contact info away from SantaTrackers.net. Violation of the same will result in an instant, irreversible ban. All private communications are monitored. Any language or messaging via personal contact on SantaTrackers.net that violates any of our Community Standards will result in an instant, irrevocable ban.
