SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES
For Respectful and Productive Discourse
Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT) welcomes you to engage on our GVLT and our Northern Yellowstone Open Lands initiative social media accounts in healthy and productive discourse about the conservation of open lands and the creation of trails.
This page provides a better understanding of how to engage with GVLT on social media and what you can expect from us. In short, our values guide everything we do, and this extends to our social media communities. We ask that users treat each other with courtesy and respect at all times.
We reserve the right to delete any comments or block users that fall outside of our values and guidelines outlined below:
Be Kind and Courteous
We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but be kind: do not personally attack your fellow commenter during a disagreement.
Refrain from Hate Speech and Bullying
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying, cursing, and harassment of any kind are not allowed, and degrading comments about race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or identity will not be tolerated.
Stay on Topic
We welcome your feedback, provided your comments are relevant to the topic that GVLT has shared.
No Promotions or Spam
Self-promotion, spam, posts for political gain, and irrelevant links are not acceptable for GVLT’s social media channels.
Respect Everyone's Privacy
Being part of our social media community requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great but may also be sensitive and private. Make sure you have permission from identifiable persons' likenesses before posting.
Respect Intellectual Property
Before posting, make sure you have the right to post protected intellectual property, including copyrights, trademarks, and service marks.
Have Fun and Connect
GVLT’s social accounts give you the opportunity to connect and interact with other open lands and trail lovers. Engage and enjoy!
