Social Media Moderation Policy

​

Initiative: do.know.feel cultivates culture through instinctual, interdisciplinary and collaborative work across stage, dance and events. Often highlighting unheard voices, stories or mediums to challenge what art can be and look like. The content we share across our various social media channels is a digital representation of these - intended to entertain, inform and provoke thought and debate alike. We encourage all our followers to share their stories with us, and engage in discussion and debate on our channels. To help ensure that everyone has a positive experience as part of our online community, we have outlined a code of conduct below

 

We ask that people commenting on our social media posts do so in an appropriate manner that is respectful of others commenting and of those who work with and for us. We will moderate (i.e. hide, delete and/or report to the relevant social media platform) comments that we reasonably believe might be:

​

• Abusive: content that is abusive, offensive, threatening, violent, disruptive, obscene, inflammatory, sexually objectifying, or harassing

• Off topic: content (whether positive or negative) which is not about the subject matter of the original post, our work, or our channels. This may include:

  • Trying to derail the conversation towards a different topic

  • “Spamming” by repeating the same or similar comments

  • Content which is unrelated to the topic or activity of initiative:do.know.feel or our subsidiaries

• Illegal: content that is illegal or that suggests, supports or glamorises illegal activity.

• Hate speech: content that is “discriminatory” (biased, bigoted or intolerant) or “pejorative” (prejudiced, contemptuous or demeaning) of an individual or group based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, medical conditions

• Containing personal information: content that discloses personal information,                   including but not limited to the name, address, telephone, mobile or fax number, email address or any other personal data in respect of any individual

• Infringing copyright: content that might infringe any copyright, database right, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any other person or organisation.

• Misrepresenting identity: content where the author is attempting to impersonate another person or misrepresent their identity or affiliation with another person or organisation

• Defamatory: content that might be damaging to someone else’s reputation.

• Posting for financial gain: content that is advertising or promoting products, services or people that are unrelated to the topic or work of initiative: do.know.feel

• Containing inappropriate links: content that links to files or websites that contain malicious software or irrelevant content etc

• Breaking a social media platform’s own rules or guidelines: content that breaches the rules of the social media platform on which it is posted.

 

We will not reply to comments which break the above rules and users responsible may also be blocked or banned. We may report them to the social media platform where they break that platform’s rules, or to the police where they break the law.
