SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES
Rua has developed guidelines for all Social Media users, that outlines the ways we want people to engage on our social media platforms. The aim of Rua Bioscience’s social media presence is to keep our followers up-to-date with our news and share links to other content we’ve picked out from around the world. We welcome and encourage comments and posts on all our social media channels, and encourage open discussion on the issues that affect our users; we endeavour to ensure that appropriate standards are achieved across all our online platforms. So, here’s a few guidelines to keep in mind when you’re contributing. Keep it kind - Respect other people, comments should not be abusive, intimidating or offensive in nature, and should not be made to deliberately provoke other commentators. Avoid excessively negative, sweeping or unbalanced comments. Don’t post content that constitute spamming of the site (posting the same comment over and over, non-sense comments, trolling, advertising, irrelevant web links…). Don’t advertise commercial products and services, you can mention relevant products and services as long as they support your comment. Keep it real - Individuals commenting in their official capacity on any platform must identify their Agency relationship. Keep us in the loop - If you feel provoked by what you consider to be a personal comment, please try not to respond. Contact the moderators who will deal with this situation as soon as possible. To alert the moderator email [email protected]. Private message us, click on the ‘Report’ or ‘Flag’ link on/about the appropriate comment and send a message including a brief explanation of your reason(s) for requesting its removal. If you post or share images with Rua Bioscience, you do so understanding that you:
· Authorise their publishing publicly.
· Agree the images do not violate or infringe any copyrights.
· Agree that Rua Bioscience is not liable to seek permission to publish any photos you have shared (though we will always endeavour to).
· Agree that any images that do not align with our moderation policy or violate the privacy and safety of a user will be deleted. If you find comments or images that may violate the moderation policy, you may report it to the moderators by personal message or by emailing [email protected]. We will regularly update and monitor our platforms, removing or editing any contribution which breaches our standards in any way as soon as is practicably possible. If you do notice any content that is in breach of our Rules of Engagement, please let us know.
