PUBLIC TERMS OF USE:

While this is an open forum, it is also a family friendly one, so please keep your wall posts and comments clean. In addition to keeping it family friendly, we ask that you comply with the following guidelines.

Keep It Clean: We ask that everyone refrain from name-calling, use of profanity or obscenities in their comments. There is no need for it.

Be Respectful: Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. We will not tolerate harassment or any form of threats to our Facebook ‘members’. We all have different opinions for sure but we request that you find ways to respectfully disagree. If your behaviour is deemed scary or offensive to others, we will delete your [posts] and write you a warning as first offence. If a member carries on with the same behaviour, we reserve the right to ban or block you from our Facebook Page.

Help Us Build a Self-monitoring Community: All of the University’s Facebook Page members and visitors are given a reasonable freedom of speech. If you encounter any post or comment that breaches our community guidelines and terms of use, please report to [email protected]

Proof your posts or comments before hitting the ‘ENTER’ or ‘POST’ button: It is important to recognise that when you write something and click on that ‘ENTER’ or ‘POST’ button, other people will read them. It is also important to recognise that for most of our ‘likers] (especially those who are new to the Page or who only participate occasionally or who prefer to read rather than respond), it takes a lot for them to actually come out of their shell and respond to a status update or to another person’s comment.

Take some time and consider your words carefully and respond respectfully. By doing so, we won't scare other people away. When you write your comments in a thoughtful and respectful manner, it helps you to convey your point across better where people will actually consider them.
