Rose Theater & Rose Studios for Youth Artists
Community Code of Conduct
Welcome to The Rose Community!
The Rose is dedicated to maintaining a respectful community that actively engages in lively discussions about our theater, our classes, the theater community, the role of the arts in youth development and more. The Rose engages the community through many digital outlets, including this website and various social media platforms. Engaging with The Rose through social media enables the community to communicate in a direct and meaningful way. We encourage public interaction and communication posted on Rose social media accounts. However, this does not imply that The Rose agrees with or accepts the content, opinions or views expressed within any public comment. The person who posts a comment is solely responsible for its content.
Please keep the following general guidelines in mind when writing your comments:
Respect Others
Please be polite to all the members of our community, including other commenters, authors and the subjects of posts. Please keep in mind that there are real people — and in many cases, young people — reading your comments.
Safe Space
Above all, we believe strongly that The Rose’s community should be a safe and welcoming space for all individuals, groups and their ideas. As such, any rudeness, insults, hate, hostility or negativity may be removed, and you may lose your ability to comment on Rose posts.
Moderation
In order to provide a safe space for our community, comments may be pre-moderated by our team before posting to the site, but they may appear on your and your friend’s social media feeds immediately.
The Rose attempts to review every comment and post. While we do not discriminate against views or opinions posted to our social media accounts, we reserve the right to remove or not approve any comment considered objectionable. A comment will not be edited or modified to remove unacceptable content; the entire comment will simply be deleted. Some of the reasons we may remove or not approve a comment are listed below:
- Abusive, vulgar, obscene, profane, racist, disruptive, defamatory, derogatory, inflammatory, threatening or harassing comments
- Libel, slander, name-calling, bullying or personal attacks of any kind, including the use of offensive terms that target specific individuals or groups
- Indecent, sexually-explicit or pornographic material of any kind — including masked profanity where symbols, initials, intentional misspellings or other characters are used to suggest profane language
- Discriminatory language or posts containing hateful speech of any kind regarding age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, political affiliations, disability or other characteristics
- Stalking or harassment of any individual, entity or organization
- Impersonating any person or entity, or falsely misrepresenting an affiliation with a person or entity
- Spam, including content that promotes products or services or contains gratuitous links, or content containing or linking to any kind of virus, malware, spyware or similar program that could cause harm to a user’s computer
- Making unsupported accusation or posting false, inaccurate, libelous or otherwise misleading information in any way
- Suggesting or encouraging illegal, dangerous or destructive activity that might constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability or that otherwise violates local, national or international laws or regulations
- Any posts which might identify matters that are currently the subject of legal proceedings or would break a court’s non-publication order
- Duplicate posts
- Factually incorrect information
- Offensive memes or images
- Posts that are clearly off topic
The Rose is unable to post comments from children under the age of 13 due to the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA). If you are 12 years old or younger, you may email us rather than posting a comment. Parents may post from their own social media account on a child’s behalf.
Moderation of and responses to comments and other social media messages should only be expected to occur during normal business hours.
Posts found to be in violation of this Community Code of Conduct will be screenshotted for documentation purposes and deleted. In some cases, The Rose may report offensive comments to the respective social media platform.
In the spirit of free speech, The Rose does not ban or block individuals from our social media pages on a frequent basis. However, banning individuals from Rose pages is appropriate for users who are unreasonable and leave an excessive amount of negative comments, or for users who consistently leave spam or offensive content. Individuals who consistently post any of the categories listed above may be banned or blocked from Rose social media sites.
