Social Media Community Guidelines
To ensure our social media channels are used constructively and for the good of the community, we use the following Social Media Community Guidelines.
Courtesy We appreciate your participation in our online community and welcome varying points of view that are: appropriate for publication on a social media platform, relevant to the discussion, and respectful of others in the community. Communications that do not comply with these criteria may be deleted or blocked.
Responsibility Although we may remove inappropriate material, we are not obligated to do so. You are solely responsible for content that you post, and for complying with the terms of use of each social media network you use. You must not: post material that may be unlawful, obscene, defamatory, threatening, abusive, slanderous, or embarrassing to any other person or entity, as we may judge in our sole discretion. By posting to our community you are verifying that the content you are posting does not infringe on anyone else’s intellectual property rights.
You must not:post private information belonging to any other individual or entity including but not limited to phone numbers or e-mail addresses, Social Security Numbers, date of birth, or physical or residence addresses. You must not: post the same note more than once or “spam”, post chain letters, pyramid schemes, advertisements or business solicitations, post libelous material or materials intended to intimidate or harass an individual or entity.
Usage Rights By posting to our online community, you are giving us your implied unlimited permission to republish, refer to, and otherwise use or re-use your words and other posted content in any format or medium at any time. You are also attesting that you have the right to use the posted content, including permission from anyone pictured in photography, video, or song that you post.
Open and Truthful Communication We work hard to check our facts and tell you what we believe to be true. We ask that you do the same. If something seems suspect, we may feel obligated to delete it rather than create a negative situation for everyone.
Our Right to Enforce these Guidelines We reserve the right to remove content that does not comply with these guidelines, or that we judge, in our sole discretion, to be obscene, libelous, or rude. We also reserve the right to block posts from people or other entities that violate these Guidelines. However, we do not edit posts. If your posts are appear in one of our social media channels, they are your words.
We pledge to be open to valued members of our community about how we manage our social media channels.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us through our Facebook Page.
We reserve the right to change these Guidelines at any time.
