NAIT guidelines for social networking

Hey! We have rules!

Okay, not rules. Guidelines. Read'em.

Here are the main points:

• Be careful how much information you divulge about yourself or others. Posting personal information could potentially lead to unwanted attention and could contribute to identity fraud.
• 
  You should not post details which you or others might find embarrassing if seen by family members or a future employer.
• 
  If you contribute comments about an identifiable individual, you should bear in mind that anyone anywhere will be able to see what you have posted, including the individual the comments are directed toward.
• 
  Do not make offensive or derogatory remarks about others, including fellow staff members and do not post obscene or derogatory images. Before participating in any online community, understand that anything posted online is available to anyone in the world. Any text or photo placed online is completely out of your control the moment it is placed online – even if you limit access to your site.
• 
  Be aware that many employers and post-secondary schools monitor these sites.
• 
  Be aware that wrongful conduct in a virtual environment, may result in the same legal consequences as wrongful conduct in the real world, including potential legal liability to parties who are claiming to have been harmed by such wrongful conduct.
