Community Guidelines
Respect the community. If you conduct yourself with maturity and consideration, our Facebook page will be a place for wisdom, humour and an exchange of ideas for the benefit of all.
We welcome debate but personal attacks will not be tolerated. Be polite. If you can’t articulate your argument without resorting to name-calling, abuse, writing in all caps or generally being disruptive, we’ll remove your comment. If you do it persistently, you’ll be banned.
We’re about embracing multiculturalism and diversity. We celebrate difference. If you feel opposed to this, it’s probably best you go elsewhere. Comments that attack a person or group on the basis of their race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age will be removed and those that post them will be banned.
We welcome constructive feedback. We’re not perfect. We know that. We’re prepared to acknowledge intelligent and thought-provoking criticism of the articles we publish. We’re not prepared to publish anything that smears our journalists.
Stay focussed on the topic. If you post something which is unrelated to the original topic then it may be removed. If a thread descends into a flame war we reserve the right to shut it down.
Don’t spam. We will remove any posts that are clearly commercial or otherwise spam-like.
We reserve the right to remove posts under legal advice. If we believe that you have posted something potentially defamatory, in breach of copyright, or in contravention of legal advice, we will remove it.
While we welcome contributions to our Facebook page, we do not endorse the content of those contributions. Contributions should comply with SBS' Network Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and User-Generated Content Guidelines.
