Social Media Policy

Show respect in all communication

This is a shared space for the promotion of our field and Tokyo JALT does not allow discrimination based on age, sex, gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, country of origin, native-ism, and more. Any posts containing such language will be removed and the writer will be warned/blocked depending upon the severity of the language

Avoid sharing private or confidential information

We understand that if a company or person does something wrong, members may discuss it as this is a forum for discussion, but overly aggressive posts or repeated posts will be flagged for removal pending review. This is not a site for bullying or trolling. Furthermore, no sharing of confidential or private information to out or to harm anyone.

No spam or repeated posts selling/promoting yourself or products

A single post about a language-teaching or research related book or business may be acceptable, but more than one will be deleted and the poster will be warned, with repeated abusers being blocked.

Any product promotion or sales unrelated to teaching languages or language research must be approved by administrators beforehand (TokyoJALTPublicRelations@gmail.com) or will be immediately deleted.

No illegal posts (including sharing copyrighted material)

Any posts in violation of the law will be immediately removed and the accounts flagged for review pending removal from the group. Breaking the law puts all of our members at risk and is not tolerated.

Expired posts, such as job postings past their deadline, may be removed.

Anyone interested in having an out-of-date post removed should flag it for review.

We are open to reviewing these policies. If you have a concern about an issue we have overlooked or have advice regarding changes to these rules, please e-mail TokyoJALTPublicRelations@gmail.com.
