Standards/Social Media/Public Interaction

=Standard: Public Interaction=

Purpose
A general guideline of how to interact with the public when representing Pirate Party Australia.

General

 * Comments and statements made on Party social media accounts must be appended with the initials of that person’s full name inside square brackets (eg. John Smith = [JS])
 * This rule does not apply to Twitter.
 * When responding to private messages (eg on Facebook), use the e-mail signature template
 * Do not interact with entities in a manner that could be construed as inflammatory or spam.
 * Do not misrepresent Pirate Party Australia's policies and actions.
 * Do not provide personal opinions through party accounts. Feel free to respond from your private account.
 * Do not communicate in a manner that portrays Pirate Party Australia negatively. This includes "text speak" and other replacing of words with shortened counterparts.
 * Be courteous at all times. If you feel you're going to lose your temper, let another member take over.
 * If you're unsure how to answer a question or don't feel sufficiently informed, refer the question to someone more knowledgeable in the relevant area.
