Our community guidelines aim to ensure that our Facebook pages and other social media sites are inclusive and inviting for everyone. By becoming a member of a My Place Community social media platform such as Facebook, Telegram, or Signal, you agree to the following:
Comment moderation policy
We ask that you treat our Facebook page, or other social media platforms as though you’re in the same room with a group of friends. We ask you to be mindful of others and their opinions. Any comments that are considered offensive, threatening or unlawful will be deleted.
Remember, this is the real world, and My Place Australia will not tolerate any cyber bullying – be kinder than is necessary. Any content that is threatening, abusive, defamatory, indecent, menacing, harassing, offensive, infringes any person’s intellectual property rights or harasses anyone, in any way, will be deleted.
We will not tolerate racism, misogyny or rudeness. If you post something of this nature your comment will be deleted, and you may be banned from the page.
Community standards
1. We welcome considerate debate and understand that there will be differences of opinion from time to time, but personal attacks (on authors, moderators, other users or any individual), trolling or abuse will not be tolerated.
2. We acknowledge criticism of My Place Australia’s philosophy, policies and performance, will occur from time to time but we will not allow persistent misrepresentation of our stance. We will delete any comments that are in disagreement with us if they are offensive, rude and distasteful, or offer harmful advice for others based on our philosophies and code of conduct. Similarly, we will only tolerate comments, posts and links that are relevant to the My Place Australia vision and its focus groups. Myths, misinformation and details of irrelevant information will not be approved or will be deleted if we think they do not sit within the parameters of the vision that underpins the My Place Australia philosophy.
3. We will remove any content that may put us (or you) in legal jeopardy. This includes potentially defamatory comments, material or links posted in potential breach of copyright and includes offensive profile pictures that contain profanities or indecent imagery.
Unacceptable use
My Place Australia social media sites will be moderated taking the above into consideration, and we reserve the right to remove any of the following as not complying with acceptable use:
- Comments, links or images that are political in nature
- Comments, links or images that are obscene, profane or hateful in nature
- Comments, links or images that are sexist, racist or discriminatory
- Comments that threaten any person or organisation
- Comments that defame, accuse or harass an individual
- Successive off-topic posts by a single poster
- Links to off-topic personal profiles, groups or pages
- Repetitive posts copied and pasted or duplicated by single or multiple posters
- Solicitations or advertisements
- Comments that encourage illegal activity.
In the event of a post being taken down because it does not comply with acceptable use, where possible the author will be informed of the reason in an open way.
