1. Be intentional. We are addressing left leaning people who want to advance Democratic interests. We are asking for engagement through participation in local elections, influencing the legislature and getting involved in local events and causes. We need to ask ourselves how we add value to the community and if a post adds value to our community.
2. Be transparent. Use hashtags. Be honest about who we are and credit others.
3. Be respectful. We are representing RCDC and the wider Democratic party. When posting, use the word “we”.
4. Be social. Acknowledge tags and comments.
5. Be safe. How to deal with trolls. We have come up with a series of commenting guidelines. If comments do not meet these guidelines the person will be warned once. If it continues, comments will be removed and the person may be blocked. (It is also suggested that all posts follow these guidelines as well.)
No bullying (no threatening, no personal attacks)
Be respectful and kind.
Focus on positive Democratic action.
No promotions/spam
Seek to unite and not divide. (In other words, think before you post.)
