NSHSS Anti-bullying Policy

NSHSS Social Media Participation and Behavior

The NSHSS online and social community wants to foster a positive experience for all members. When you engage on our social media and/or online profiles, make sure to use respectful language. We may remove materials that we deem unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, libelous, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable, or infringe or violate any party’s copyright, trade secret, trademark, authorship, publicity, or any other proprietary rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”).

These terms apply to profiles operated by NSHSS and all communication related to NSHSS programs (individual chats, emails, or group messages). If a violation or misconduct is reported, there will be a consequence. Consequences range in variations, but can result in removal from an online group or revocation of membership within a specific program. Examples of such illegal or unauthorized uses include, but are not limited to content that:

• Is patently offensive, such as content that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred, or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual
• Harasses or advocates harassment of another person
• Involves the transmission of “junk mail,” “chain letters,”  “funding pages,” and/or unsolicited mass mailing or “spamming”
• Promotes illegal activities or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory, or libelous
• Promotes an illegal or unauthorized copy of another person’s copyrighted work
• Displays pornographic or sexually explicit material of any kind
• Is intended to disrupt an ongoing conversation through public and personal attacks with the deliberate intention of bullying and causing emotional harm to another participant
• Posts derogatory or inflammatory comments in order to bait others into responding
• Transmits any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, or other items of a destructive nature
