Community Rules & Acceptable Use

These Community Rules establish the standards of conduct expected of all users of the AGSOSA platform. The Platform exists to serve the alumni community of Ajara Grammar School, and every member is expected to engage respectfully, honestly, and in the spirit of the Association's values of loyalty and service. These Rules apply to all activated members who have completed the invitation-based activation process and gained access to the Platform's member features.

All interactions on the Platform — including messages, forum posts, event discussions, and profile content — must be conducted with respect and civility. You must not use language or imagery that is threatening, abusive, discriminatory, or deliberately offensive. Disagreements should be expressed constructively. Personal attacks, insults, and inflammatory behaviour are not tolerated. Members should be mindful of the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within the alumni community.

The alumni directory is a trusted community resource. Members must not misuse directory data by sharing member contact information, photographs, or profile details with non-members or third parties without the affected member's explicit consent. Members must not use directory information for unsolicited commercial contact, marketing, or recruitment unless expressly authorised by the Association. Members must not screenshot, copy, or export directory data in bulk. Members must not stalk, monitor, or persistently contact any member who has indicated they do not wish to be contacted.

Harassment of any kind is strictly prohibited. This includes repeated unwanted contact after being asked to stop, sexual harassment or inappropriate advances, bullying, intimidation, or threats, doxxing or publishing private information about another member, creating a hostile environment for any member based on gender, ethnicity, religion, political views, or any other characteristic, and coordinated campaigns against individual members.

Every member must use their real identity on the Platform. Impersonating another person — whether a fellow alumnus, school official, or any other individual — is prohibited. Creating multiple accounts is prohibited unless expressly authorised by the Association. Falsifying alumni credentials, graduation year, or any verification-related information is a serious violation that will result in account termination.

If the Platform provides messaging, forum, or communication features, these tools must be used responsibly. You must not send spam, chain messages, or unsolicited bulk communications. You must not use messaging tools for commercial solicitation without authorisation. You must not share misleading, fraudulent, or harmful content. You must not distribute malware, phishing links, or deceptive URLs.

When participating in Platform-facilitated events or activities, members are expected to behave in accordance with these Community Rules and the broader values of the Association. Disruptive, offensive, or harmful behaviour at events — whether online or in-person — may be treated as a violation of these Rules.

The Platform is not a commercial marketplace. Unsolicited advertising, promotional content, pyramid schemes, or commercial solicitation is prohibited unless explicitly authorised through designated Association channels (such as a future business directory feature). Members who operate businesses may include professional information in their profiles but must not use the Platform as a primary advertising channel.

The Association reserves the right to moderate all content and activity on the Platform. Administrators may review, edit, or remove content that violates these Rules. Administrators may issue warnings, temporarily restrict Platform access, or take other proportionate measures to address violations. Moderation decisions are made at the discretion of authorised administrators and, where significant, may be reviewed by the Executive Committee. Members who believe a moderation action was unjust may submit an appeal to the Executive Committee.

Violations of these Community Rules may result in one or more of the following actions, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation: • Private warning from an administrator • Temporary restriction of specific Platform features • Temporary suspension of Platform access • Permanent termination of account and membership • Referral to the Executive Committee for formal disciplinary consideration • Referral to appropriate authorities where the violation involves illegal activity The Association will endeavour to apply consequences proportionately and fairly, with due regard for the circumstances of each case.

Members who witness or experience a violation of these Community Rules are encouraged to report it to the Association through the Platform's reporting mechanisms or by contacting an administrator directly. Reports will be reviewed promptly and handled with appropriate confidentiality.

These Community Rules may be updated from time to time. Changes will be communicated through the Platform and will be identified by version number and effective date.
