Community Guidelines
Date updated: Thursday, 12 November 2020
We value our community for the deep participation that occurs within the comment section of each talk and video — a commenting culture that encourages robust, thoughtful observations, feelings and insights that bring talks, ideas, messages and insights to life. At the Asia Leaders Series, we love maintaining this culture and take the discussion of ideas seriously. The guidelines below seek to protect the integrity of both.
HOW TO LEAVE A GREAT COMMENT
To help you make the most of your comment, here are four things to do before clicking Submit:
1. Read with your audience in mind: Is your comment appropriate for the community -- including speakers, the Asia Leaders Series staff, and your fellow commenters?
2. Revise: Can I make this calmer and clearer? Can I be more concise?
3. Support what you say: Can I make negative feedback more constructive? Can I elaborate further on positive feedback? Can I provide sources that support my claim?
4. Review how you say it: Does my comment encourage a healthy discussion or is it going to put others on the defensive? The idea expressed in a comment may be a valid point, but if it is combative or rude to community members, it will be removed.
COMMENT REMOVAL
Although we don’t like doing it, occasionally comments must be removed for the overall health of the asiaseries.com community. To help you avoid the frustrations of comment removal, here are some reasons your comment may have been removed:
Not appropriate for the asiaseries.com audience: pseudoscience, zealotry, personal requests, proselytizing and self-promotion are not acceptable and will be removed.
Inappropriate language: chat-room banter, text-speak and combatively postured comments are not appropriate. Calls to violence are never acceptable.
Response to an inappropriate comment: Please use the Flag button instead.
Terms of Use violation: We will remove any comment that violates the asiaseries.com Terms of Use.
Monopolizing the conversation: Excessively posting the same comment or link across multiple talks or in response to multiple comments will result in the removal of all comments containing the duplicated material.
Stereotyping: Sweeping generalizations of any group or individual based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or age will be removed, as will comparisons to Nazis.
Honesty: Don’t post false information, rumours, or hearsay. If you don’t know it to be true, please don’t say it.
A NOTE ABOUT COMMENT MODERATION AND OUR MODERATORS
Our moderators are human so mistakes may happen. Please respond to the removal email you received if you feel your comment may have been removed in error.
Harassing or attacking the Asia Leaders Series team will result in the removal of your asiaseries.com account.
Removing comments that are not suitable for the community, as well as the asiaseries.com accounts in their entirety, is within the asiaseries.com Terms of Use.
