SOCIAL CHANNEL GUIDELINES
These guidelines are in place to help create a sa
fe environment on all social media channels run by Whitchurch Town Council. The aim of our social media channels is to create an environment where our community can engage safely in debate and is free to make comments, questions and suggestions. We ask that anyone engaging with our social media channels shows courtesy, kindness and respect for all other members of our social media communities. In order to help create this safe environment we have set out some guidelines which apply to any engagement with us or other members of the community on any of our social media channels. By engaging with our social media channels you agree to follow these guidelines. Comments must not:
Contain spam, be defamatory of any person, deceive others, be obscene, offensive, threatening, abusive, hateful, inflammatory or promote s*xually explicit material or violence. Promote discrimination based on race, s*x, religion, nationality, disability, s*xual orientation or age. Breach any of the terms of any of the social media platforms themselves. Be off-topic, irrelevant or unintelligible. Contain any advertising or promote any services. Breach of Guidelines:
We reserve the right to determine, at our discretion, whether contributions to our social media channels breach our guidelines. We reserve the right to hide or delete comments made on our channels, as well as block users who do not follow these guidelines. We may also block users with no profile pictures / details or 'anonymous' profiles, which contravenes our approach to openness and transparency, especially if their approach is to intimidate others or otherwise post obviously post in order to deliberately cause distress, upset or mislead (including other inflammatory comments). We believe our social media channels should promote a safe, positive environment - where constructive criticism is just that. We also reserve the right to send any comments we deem appropriate to law enforcement authorities for investigation as we feel necessary or is required by law.
