Virtual Community Standards
Thank you for participating in Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s virtual community in ways such as virtual conferences or by interacting with our social media accounts. Rowan-Cabarrus Community College encourages interaction, discussion, comments and questions. We ask that you keep comments and posts relevant and respectful, whether they are made on Zoom during the conference or on social media.
The College has established Virtual Community Standards to govern our official social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube) and virtual communities during conferences. The administrators of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College accounts reserve the right to delete comments, replies or other content and interactions they deem to be in violation of the College’s Virtual Community Standards or in violation of the social media platforms’ community standards listed below. The administrators may also take action to report, block or ban users for violations.
Conference and social media submissions that will be removed and reported may include, but are not limited to:
- Harassing, intimidating or threatening comments to another person
- Comments that incite violence or other action in violation of any federal or state anti-discrimination laws
- Sexually explicit, sexually vulgar or violent language, profanity or imagery
- Infringement on copyrights or trademarks
- Comments that promote illegal activity
- Solicitations or promotions of products or services of any third party, unless approved in advance by the Chief Officer of Governance, Advancement & Community Relations or designee
- Comments that include false or defamatory information
- Posts that misrepresent or hide the poster’s identity
- Comments that violate privacy or confidentiality
- Comments unrelated to the topic of the post or to the College community
- Repetitive comments and spam posts
