Please note the following guidelines for engagement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Respectful Conduct<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    MTS members follow a Code of Professional Practice in their communications with the Society and with each other. We expect the same standard of respectful behaviour from everyone who engages with our posts \u2014 members and non-members alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Comment Moderation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      We will remove any comments that are insulting, offensive, threatening, toxic, abusive, or disrespectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. No Notification of Removal<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        We do not notify individuals when comments are deleted, or accounts are blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. No Partial Edits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          To respect staff time and workload, we do not edit or sanitize comments. If any part of a comment violates our guidelines, the entire comment will be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Zero Tolerance for Hate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Personal attacks, hate speech, or derogatory comments based on race, ethnicity, creed, national origin, citizenship, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, transphobia, disability, marital status, age, or other protected characteristics will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Prohibited Content<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Dog whistles, profanity, spam, trolling, commercial advertising, and disguised bad language (e.g., using asterisks) are all prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Aggressive or Disruptive Behaviour<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Comments that are aggressive, repetitive, or attempt to dictate our content are subject to deletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Administrative Discretion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  We reserve the right to delete comments, block accounts, or disable comment sections at our discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Contrary Opinions Welcome \u2014 With Civility<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    We do not block individuals simply for expressing a different point of view. It\u2019s the tone, manner, and respectfulness of the interaction that determines whether further action is taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Thank you for helping us keep our social media channels welcoming and constructive for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
