Real communities work better with respect.
UQonnect brings neighbors, local professionals and communities together. These guidelines describe the basic expectations for participating on the platform.
Remember there is a real person behind every profile.
Help keep your local community safe.
Show up as yourself and interact honestly.
Be respectful
Harassment, credible threats, targeted abuse, bullying and hateful conduct are not welcome on UQonnect.
Keep people safe
Do not encourage violence, exploitation, dangerous illegal activity or the sexual exploitation of any person. Content that creates a serious safety risk may be removed and, when appropriate, reported to relevant authorities.
Content or behavior that creates a serious safety risk may result in enforcement action.
Be authentic
Do not impersonate others, deliberately mislead users about your identity or professional status, manipulate engagement, scam users or coordinate fraudulent activity.
Respect privacy
Do not publish another person's sensitive personal information without authorization or use UQonnect to stalk, intimidate or expose someone.
Respect ownership
Only upload content you have the right to use. UQonnect may respond to valid intellectual-property complaints as required by law.
Use reporting tools
If something appears to violate these Guidelines, report it through UQonnect's in-app tools so it can be reviewed.
Reporting potentially harmful content gives UQonnect the opportunity to review it and take appropriate action.
No asking for money
The feed is for neighbors, not money-asks. Do not use posts or comments to ask for money or monetary donations for yourself or anyone else, post payment-app handles such as Cash App, Venmo, PayPal or Zelle, or share crowdfunding links such as GoFundMe. Donating goods — clothes, food and household items — to neighbors in need is welcome. Businesses and professionals can promote what they offer through professional profiles, events and listings, not by asking for money on the feed.
