Genesee Land Trust Community Guidelines & Expectations

Genesee Land Trust is committed to creating a welcoming, respectful, supportive, and inclusive community that encourages diversity and collaboration. Thank you for building this culture together. 

The following guidelines are designed to help provide a quality environment for you and our entire community. Please take a minute to read them and keep them in mind whenever you participate on our social media accounts, as well as at our events and nature preserves.

While we are excited to hear from everyone, it is important to note that individual comments made on Genesee Land Trust’s social media accounts do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Genesee Land Trust nor does Genesee Land Trust confirm their accuracy.

We understand that waterways and landscapes of our region are subjects many of you are passionate about – a passion we share. We welcome all questions and commentary, including constructive feedback. But we do expect that participants will share commentary that is both relevant and respectful to this community as a whole. Genesee Land Trust reserves the right to remove any comments that do not adhere to our guidelines and to block anyone who violates them. Specifically, we will not tolerate these kinds of comments:

* Abusive, harassing, stalking, threatening or attacking others

* Defamatory, offensive, obscene, vulgar or depicting violence

* Hateful in language including targeting gender, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or political beliefs.

* Fraudulent, deceptive, misleading or unlawful

* Trolling or deliberate disruption of discussion

* Violations of any intellectual property rights

* Spamming in nature

* Uploading files that contain viruses or programs that could damage the operation of other people’s computers

* Commercial solicitation or solicitation of donations

* Link baiting (embedding a link in your post to draw traffic to your own site)
