15 Rules of Engagement For the Family Facebook Group

A Facebook group is a great way for our family to come together with each other
on a personal level. Of course it also means that members will be engaging with
each other and this can sometimes cause serious problems. That is why you need
to agree and will be bound by these 15 rules to become part of this group.

#1: Your opinions are relevant information and are welcome as per these group
guidelines. However, there will be no cursing in this group ever. It also includes
any statement that the group admin deems inappropriate in nature. All opinions will
be treated with mutual respect, unless they violate these rules. Treat your fellow
Facebook family members with that same respect. If a single individual starts a
fighting discussion that all other members disagree with, it may, at the discretion of
the group admin, be considered trolling. Trolls will be booted out of the group, if it
happens more than three times.

#2: If a family member personally attacks another member with words that are
harmful, threatening or not in-line with our mutual respect policy, that member will
receive a warning. Three warnings and youre out.

#3: KEEP YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE PRIVATE FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION!! This
means that you do not post birth dates and place of birth. Try not to post birthday
wishes here. Here is how you make your profile private: Go to Privacy Shortcuts;
who can see my stuff who can see your future posts check Friends.

#4: If you invite a new family member, you are obliged to let the group know the
addition of a new member. Explain how the new member is related to the Family.
Not all family members are familiar to each other.

#5: Please stick to the mission statement of this Facebook group. Irrelevant content
does not belong here it belongs on other pages. Political commentaries or posts

1
must be avoided unless it is compelling political content that you believe the Family
as a whole would be interested.

#6. Do not advertise an outside business in this group. The group is not interested
in these businesses. However, if it involves your career or your personal business,
by all means make us proud and let us know of your achievements.

#7: Do not post graphic or disturbing photos, videos and other media in this group.
If you are not sure about the content that you want to post, message the group
admin or moderator using FB Messenger. Do not post any games or game app
results on this board.

#8: If someone mentions you by name please respond directly to that person on the
same post. If the comment is inflammatory please report it to the group admin or
ignore it until it is deleted by the Admin.

#9: Think before you post! This is Facebook, one of the biggest sites on the internet
what goes up can never really come down. Respect the privacy of others! DO NOT
SHARE WHAT YOU SEE HERE WITH OTHERS OUTSIDE THE GROUP. This group shall
not be used to gather intelligence on family members to be used against them.
There shall be no gestapos here. KEEP YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE PRIVATE!! (see
below).

#10: Be aware that posting more than 15 discussions on the same day needs to be
justified to the group admin, or it will be considered spam.

#11: It is considered impolite to repost or draw attention to the fact that a group
admin or another member has deleted your comment.

#12: If you are going to comment, we would prefer it if you could try and add
valuable discussion to the conversation. Be friendly, be fair and use common sense.
Use I statements so that it is understood that you are speaking for yourself and
not attacking another member by using You did .

#13: The Facebook group admin is entitled to deny entry to any member they
choose. They are also allowed to boot out members that dont comply with the
house rules.

#14: For any specific inquiries please refer to the Group Admins or Moderators or
Elders of the Family.

#15: Blocking FB group Admins is not allowed on your profile! ...you will be booted
from the group if you block any Admin.

---Important Note ---

Every individual family of this Group has family squabbles each and
every family!! Many family members do not speak to each other. Such

2
divide can only be bridged by sharing open, honest and clear
communication with each other. This Group is ultimately a communication
tool, not a therapy office to resolve conflicts, although certain family
members are good at facilitating resolution of conflicts. Ultimately,
conflicts can only be resolved by an open mind, accepting what IS in your
life, and a strong willingness to come to a loving understanding of each
other. Nothing else can do it and certainly, nothing you can do can
change another person. Only that person can change themselves. SO
COME CLOSER, SHARE, HAVE FUN, LAUGH & LOVE!!! Many HUGS AND
KISSES.
