Thanks for visiting Ask an Expert! It's great to have you here and we encourage you to share your thoughts, your comments, photos and especially what your not-for-profit is up to. This is a space for you to connect with each other, discuss what's happening in the not-for-profit sector, stay up to date with what's going on at Connecting Up and how you're using technology to make a difference. We're committed to keeping this space as useful and positive as possible which means there may be times when we will delete or hide posts that we deem inappropriate or offensive.

Here are a few pointers:

1. Look after yourself

Be aware that anything you post here is public and you are allowing others to use your content and attribute it to you. If it may be damaging to you later on, don't post it. Also, we don't recommend posting any of your personal info that others may use.

2. Think of others

• Ask an Expert is for you to have great discussions, but we will delete posts or comments that are:
• Offensive or violent language
• Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or political beliefs
• Links or comments containing sexually explicit content material
• Attacks on specific groups or any comments meant to harass, threaten or abuse an individual

3. Don't spam

We're all about conversation and we encourage you to engage with us and with each other, but there's a difference between chatting and spamming. Spam comes in all sorts of flavours, but in general, we'll remove posts that are:

• Commercial solicitations or promotions
• Multiple posts of the same content
• Content that doesn't add value (e.g. just a link without any - explanation of why you're posting it)
• Link baiting
• Malicious posts
• If you would like to link to your business or commercial entity, please put it in your profile’s signature.

4. If in doubt, ask!

If you're unsure about anything, you can get in contact with our friendly customer care team.
