Social Media Policies 

Rule 1: Stay On Topic

• Keep all posts relevant to ISW events & Activities, and relevant to that group (Eg School, Humrahee, Sports) only.
• No forwarded messages. This includes holiday greetings, news updates, jokes or any other mass forwarded content. Avoid sharing unverified news, viral chain messages, or religious/political propaganda.

Exceptions:

• ISW Initiative chairs, EB Members or CIO team may cross post other ISW Events, activity announcements to unrelated ISW Groups but are encouraged to do so with discretion.
• Group admins may make posts that are limited exceptions to this rule for items they deem to be in the group’s interest.
• The ISW Family Gupshup group is a general chat group that allows posts not related directly to ISW Events. However all the following rules (Rules # 2 and #3) must still be followed.

Rule 2: Respectful Dialogue

Maintain a polite and inclusive tone. Personal attacks, harassment, or derogatory comments either directed at a person or a group will result in immediate removal.

Rule 3 No Ads, Fundraising, Political Fundraising or Campaigning

• No posting of business promotions or solicitations for any other commercial entity or business. For advertising with ISW - please contact info@ISWOnline.org.
• ISW Does NOT allow political campaigning or fundraising By, on behalf of or for any candidate for public office.
• No fundraising or solicitation of group members to join another organization or cause.

Posting Etiquette

In keeping with the family spirit of ISW, we have kept the rules to a minimum. We ask that you be respectful and considerate while posting. Please AVOID:

• Posting information about the same event or activity repeatedly, particularly if there is another activity that is nearer or more appropriate for that group.
• Indiscriminately posting the same information to all groups that you are in
• Forwarding a message you received ( e.g. Spam) without taking any steps to confirm its appropriateness or authenticity.
• Address any issues, or complaints you have directly with the admin, instead of posting in the group.
