Chat Group Guidelines
1. INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
2. ANNOUNCEMENTS & GUIDELINES
3. COLLATING IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS for the welfare of the community
CORE VALUES: R - M O R S
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
1. Respect the main purpose of the chat group: Community and development updates,
relevant news and other information which are relevant for the welfare of the
community are all welcome and recommended. Irrelevant topics, as well as religion and
politics, no matter how strongly you may feel about current events, are out.
2. Sending a private message is preferred if a member wants, for instance, to tell another
member about anything personal.
3. Be helpful. If a member asks about something you know of, or have access to the
information needed, share it. After all, that’s what everyone is there for.
4. Be sensitive and think twice before sending out certain messages. It’s always easier to
send out invitations to a group chat—but only if you intend to invite everyone.
5. Limit your post. Share only links that would be helpful for the development and
improvement of the community.
6. Avoid sharing fake news or false information that may lead to confusion or conflict of
interests.
7. Don’t send fatalistic messages. Some people don’t have the same mental strength. (this
may cause depression).
8. Don’t call out a group attention. If you must discuss a problem between you and a
member, do it in a private chat group. Passive-aggressive remarks have no place in the
chat group.
9. Just in case there is a tension during a conversation, the parties who would act in an
unruly manner will be given a warning. If the tension still continues, a three (3) days
suspension shall apply to the unruly person.
10. You may compliment a person but never criticize a person in public. Malicious
statement and oral defamation to a person either direct or indirect is harmful to overall
well-being.
