Blog Moderating guidelines
RSVP understands that blogs provide an important outlet for RSVP members. To ensure the blogs continue to be a positive environment for RSVP members please review the Blog moderating guidelines.
Generally speaking, the RSVP moderators will publish all comments on blog posts provided they do not breach the basic guidelines set out below. Sometimes the comments and conversations on the blog posts slip off topic. However, within the boundaries of common sense, these too are currently published, and will continue to be published.
You are no doubt aware that sometimes entire posts are not published, due to irrelevant comments within it that breach the guidelines. From now on, the RSVP moderators may edit out the part of the post which breaches the guidelines and publish the balance of the post. In these circumstances the moderators will identify the section of the post omitted and sign the post "Edited by RSVP Moderator".
Blog Comments will not be published if they fall into the following categories:
1. Abusive and/or offensive language
2. Racism
3. Sexist language or commentary
4. Any form of offensive discrimination
5. Abuse directed at another person on the blogs
6. Invasions of privacy including revealing the identity of another commenter
7. Sarcasm which adds no value to the general conversation or blog
8. Posts which include a links, email addresses, URLs of any kind including if disguised
9. Plagiarism if able to be identified and not presented as a quote properly credited
10. Duplicate posts
