SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITY POLICY
We look forward to interacting with each and every one of you on our social media channels! Our casa es tu casa, and you’re more than welcome to post your questions, suggestions, and comments. A few things to take into account while you’re here:
Although we cannot commit to replying to every comment posted, we will answer your questions and engage in conversation wh
enever possible. We understand that social media is a 24/7 medium; however, our moderation capabilities are not. The views of participants in our social media channels do not necessarily represent the views of the University of Alberta. To protect your own privacy and the privacy of others, please do not include phone numbers, email addresses, or other personal information in public messages. If you do need to provide personal information, please send us a private message. We trust our community members (that’s you!) to be mature, respectful and to respond politely to each other. We will be monitoring the input and may participate or intervene as appropriate. We may not see every inappropriate comment right away, but we will deal with them upon the next business day. Please keep in mind that we will not tolerate comments that are offensive to an individual or an organization, rude in tone, or abusive. We also reserve the right to edit or delete comments that meet any of the following conditions:
• Contrary to the principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
• Racist, hateful, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, slanderous, insulting, or life-threatening messages.
• Messages that contain name calling and/or personal attacks.
• Serious, unproven, or inaccurate accusations against individuals or organizations.
• Aggressive, coarse, violent, obscene, or pornographic comments.
• Messages where the sender is not the author (for example, messages coming from a bot).
• Messages for advertising purposes.
• Messages written in a language other than English or French.
• Unintelligible or irrelevant messages.
• Intentional trolling, troll baiting, spam, repetitive posts of identical content, or flaming. Repeated violations of this comment policy may cause the author to be blocked from the Faculty of Extension’s various social media channels.
