Cc: <a href="mailto:socialmedia@atlantia.sca.org">socialmedia@atlantia.sca.org</a><br><br><br>Greetings Atlantians,<br>
<br>
The Society released the official Social Media Policy (SMP) yesterday (available at <a href="http://sca.org/officers/seneschal/docs.html" target="_blank">http://sca.org/officers/<u></u>seneschal/docs.html</a> ) and I understand there has been some excitement already concerning it. As Social Media Deputy, I would like to simplify things and also present...A Plan*:**In order to minimize confusion, both for page/group admins and for the seneschal, webminister, and social media deputy, please do not advise anyone to make any changes. Allow me.<br>
<br>
*There are three categories of Social Media regarding the SMP: SMP Required, SMP Recommended, and No SMP.<br>
<br>
/SMP Required/ - Pages/Groups which purport to be a voice of the Branch, Office, or Event--both in title and description--and are Open fall under the SMP Required category. /Both/ criteria must be met in order to fall into this category (I have verified this with Society).<br>
Example: Kingdom of Atlantia Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/AtlantiaSCA" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/<u></u>AtlantiaSCA</a><br>
Questionable: Kingdom of Atlantia Facebook group<br>
Exempt: Atlantia Arts and Sciences group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/398128466934902/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<u></u>groups/398128466934902/</a> - The description states this is a discussion and question group, NOT an announcement group<br>
<br>
If your page falls under the /SMP Required/, don't panic. All that needs to happen is two warranted officers of the group (any officers) must have administrative access and a required disclaimer must be put into the description. For examples, take a look at the Kingdom of Atlantia Facebook page mentioned above. *I will be in contact with admins to advise them on this*.<br>
<br>
/SMP Recommended*- */Pages/Groups which either have an official voice but are closed or have a personal voice (discussion group) and are open fall into this category.<br>
Example: Atlantia Arts and Sciences group<br>
<br>
If your page or group falls under the /SMP Recommended /category, you should read the SMP and focus on sections 4.c. and onward. This is about "Best Practices" (don't post political propaganda, don't do illegal stuff, be courteous, etc.). You /are NOT/ required to have the disclaimer or two admins.<br>
<br>
/No SMP/ - Pages/Groups which have a personal voice (discussion group) and are closed fall into this category.<br>
Example: Highland Foorde Scriptorium on Facebook<br>
<br>
You don't have to follow the SMP. That doesn't mean I would recommend having your group full of profanity and/or illegal content (the FBI has precedence over the SCA in the real world), but it's your group.<br>
<br>
In conclusion, I return to my original point: *leave this to me*. If you ask the Kingdom Seneschal, she will point you to me, because this is why she and the Kingdom Webminister have asked me to do this job. I will be in contact with the page administrators who need to make changes. If you have questions, make them good and send them to me.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
