Social Media Etiquette

The Clarendon Telegram Chat Group and the Telegram Security Group were set up for a very useful purpose and; being included on these groups is a privilege - not a right. Participation is voluntary and requires patience.

These guidelines will hopefully address any grey areas and keep any keyboard warriors out of trouble.

​

Recommended

​

Keep the group relevant to community issues such as the following:-

* Street lights

* Electricity

* Fires

* Water leaks

* Lost dogs / cats / birds / rabbits

* Contact details of service providers which are not available on this website

​

Please

​

* Extend any gratitude privately

* Don’t send data insensitive messages

* Do not have one-on-one conversations in the group. Private message rather

* Check your sources before posting unverified information

* Ensure that you have the correct recipient for the intended message

​

Avoid

​

* Confrontational /insulting / condescending messages

* Graphic photos

* Opinions or grievances seeking a reaction

* Racism in any form

* Religious or political views

​

​

In the event of an emergency or should you require medical assistance, please contact ambulance services. All emergency details are available on the front page of the website.

​

Any consistent transgressions will, unfortunately, result in removal from the group to protect the relevance of the forum and spare the other group members from the unnecessary messages.

​

​

​

If you are in doubt, ask yourself .....

* Is this relevant?

* Is this necessary?

* Is this a good time to post?

​

​

​

The etiquette of social media interaction relies heavily on adult responsibility and respect.

​

If you are not able to say in person or display on a billboard what you are about to post, I would caution against putting it on social media!
