Hairtutor’s Moderation Guidelines in Full

Threats

Statements which are threatening or abusive will not be tolerated.

Discrimination

Discriminatory remarks are unacceptable; this includes, but is not limited to, racism, sexism or homophobia. For more information about what constitutes discrimination we recommend http://www.hreoc.gov.au/.

Slander & Libel

Don’t make false or malicious claims about other people or organisations.

Spam

All comments are filtered through spam filtering technology. The technology isn’t perfect, so a human being makes a final decision on the appropriateness of all contributions.

Advertising

Hairtutor is an independent, not-for-profit discussion platform for the community. Talking about your business or industry is fine, hawking your goods and services is NOT.  

Offensive Language

Please don’t swear.  We really don’t want to have to remove any comments with valuable ideas because of foul language. Different people have different opinions about what constitutes offensive language and Hairtutor will review offensiveness based on severity and context in each particular instance.

Relevance

While we appreciate wide-ranging discussions, we’d like to avoid derailed threads. Please don’t engage in “trolling” (trying to cause trouble in an online forum just for the sake of it).

Anonymity

Pseudonyms are fine, but don’t impersonate another person or use an alias to agree with yourself.  

Privacy

In addition to being mindful of your own, please always consider and respect other people’s privacy. For more information about privacy we recommend http://www.privacy.gov.au/  and http://www.staysmartonline.gov.au/

Web Links

You are welcome to include links to material on other websites that are relevant to your comment. Hairtutor administrators check these links and reserve the right to remove any which lead to material reasonably considered offensive in line with these moderation guidelines.

Illegal Activity

Do not use this website to conduct any illegal activity or solicit the performance of any illegal activity. 

Intellectual Property

Uniqueness

Organisations must not post comments on behalf of their individual members. Comments must be submitted by individually registered users. Hairtutor is designed to allow individuals to express their unique points of view.

Moderation

Hairtutor’s normal practice is to allow user’s comments to be published automatically in real time.  Occasionally we may host particular forums in which comments are pre-moderated. On these occasions it will be clearly identified on the affected pages and you will be notified that pre-moderation has been enabled when posting a comment.

In the event hairtutor does remove a comment due to a breach of our Moderation Guidelines the author will be notified by email. If this happens to you, please feel free to post a new comment that expresses your point of view whilst keeping our Moderation Guidelines in mind. Serious and repeat offenders will have their user registration blocked.
