We also want people to feel safe when using Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation Facebook Page. For that reason, we’ve developed a set of Community Standards, outlined below. These policies will help you understand what type of sharing is allowed, and what type of content may be blocked or removed.

In order to protect the experience and safety of people who use the Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation Facebook Page, there are some limitations on the type of content and behaviour that we allow. All users must adhere to the policies set forth in the Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation Ltd Community Guidelines. Failure to do so may result in the temporary blocking and/or permanent removal of access to our account(s).

A brief overview

  • Don’t attack people and don’t respond to attacks – report them and move on
  • Keep your posts on topic, fact based and constructive
  • Take responsibility for the quality of the conversations you take part in
  • Above all, respect others and their opinions.
Harassment & Cyber Bullying

We are here to talk about ideas and foster a positive, diverse communication with the community. Please be aware that we won’t tolerate bullying or harassment in any form. We allow you to speak freely on matters and people of public interest but remove content that appears to purposefully and repeatedly target the page, or people associated with the page, in an inappropriate manner. This content includes, but is not limited to:

  • Personal attacks directed at anyone
  • Abusive videos, comments, messages
  • Revealing someone’s personal information
  • Deliberately posting content in order to humiliate or discredit someone/business
  • Making hurtful and negative comments/videos
  • Incitement to harass other users or creators

  • Comments that are commercial or repeatedly shared external links.
  • Posts we believe exist only to provoke or mislead

We encourage all opinions, so please, regardless of whether you hold a positive or negative sentiment to the development, try to explain your reasoning. We believe that is just as important as your opinion.

Try to back up your ideas with evidence and fact where possible and we promise to do the same.

We reserve the right to distinguish between constructive conversation and smear campaigns, and will remove any deliberate attempts to misinform, distort facts or misrepresent validated or evidenced information.

We will endeavour to credit any images we place on our platforms, if you see an image that is not credited appropriately, email info@scartsfoundation.com and we will rectify immediately by either removing or crediting the correct persons / group that owns the image.

One of our goals is to share amazing information, visual content and video from across the arts and philanthropy sectors.
