Is My Post Suitable For Angeles City Expat Life?
Are you unsure as to whether your post will be allowed or removed? This is an attempt to provide transparency to the process. Please be aware of the following caveats:
1) Some posts may be missed and so be allowed by default. Feel free to report such posts.
2) Different moderators may interpret these guidelines in slightly different ways.
There will be a separate one for comments
You can of course just look at the Feedback you are given and change what you post next time!
Here is a guide to help you decide. The more negative points it scores, the more likely it will be removed. The more positive points it scores, the less likely it will be removed.
NEGATIVES SCORES:
-5: Is my post 'Fake News', as reported by Facebook, or does it contain Fake News about COVID-19.
-5: Does my post involve politics, religion, illegal activities, or does it insult someone in the Group
-5: Does the post contain nudity or is it crude, sexist, racist or homophobic or demeaning in any way?
-5: Does the post contain racist, or homophobic views, or promote violence?
-3: Am I promoting my business, without ever having been to an Event?
-3: Does the post insult the people of the Philippines (or any other nation) in a generalized way?
-2:: To stop the spread of Fake News and misinformation regarding COVID-19 , News articles about COVID-19 not from websites that are neither official (i.e. governmental or with official capacity) nor not rated 'Highly Factual' or above by https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ will not be allowed.
-1: Did I 'paraphrase' a news item by selecting parts of it and presenting it as news, instead of simply supplying a link.
-1: Did I present the news link with an opinion as to how we should interpret it, draw conclusions from it, or make comments such as 'Next we will be..' (extrapolation), or 'The corrupt organisation are ..' (telling people what conclusion should be drawn) etc.
-1: If the news article consists of someone official being interviewed, or making a statement, was it 'presented' by a news reporter who then put his/her 'spin' on it (such as on a politically biased news network).
-1: If it links to a Foreign news or opinion article, not directly related to the Philippines, which is ranked ‘Mixed’ or lower on factual reporting by https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/. If the article is from an individual on e.g. YouTube, or a website that cannot be verified as above it will score -1 also.
POSITIVE SCORES:
+0.5: Did I post a link to the news article, rather than a screenshot, and is it DIRECTLY helpful in some way to the at least some members of the Group?
+1: Is the post DIRECTLY relevant to Angeles City?
+0.5: Will the post provide useful information (either from personal experience or from an official source) to people living in the Philippines
+0.5: Is the post DIRECTLY relevant to the Philippines
+0.5: Is the news about something that is ACTUALLY happening (or has happened) in the Philippines (as opposed to someone's opinion?
+0.5: Does the post contain something about my personal experience, or something personal about me whilst in the Philippines?
+0.5: Does the post link directly to an official governmental or global organization's website
Initially I will set the guideline score for acceptance at >0.5
Posts which score <=0 or less can be regarded as unsuitable.
A score of 0.5 is moderator's discretion.
We may let some posts that score zero to stay, but give feedback
