Hibiscus Whatsapp Group Guidelines

1. Respect the purpose and objective of each group. This group is to discuss topics/issues relevant to Hibiscus and Salarpuria Greenage. Please stick to that. 
2. Don’t use groups just to send memes, videos, pictures and news, without reading and reacting to the content shared by others. 
3. Never send content, information or “news” that HASN’T been verified. Placing content whose authenticity has not been definitively proven can be VERY dangerous and harm many people. WhatsApp is infested with lies and it’s better to put a stop to them than to be guilty of spreading them. Use Google search and GOA channels to verify such information. In general, to be safe, avoid forwarding messages to this group.
4. Before sending a complaint to a group, identify the “administrator” and share your thoughts with him/her.
5. Don’t get angry if someone doesn’t respond to your messages in a group. No one is obliged to do so. Better send him/her a direct message.
6. Before sending a video, picture, meme or any content, analyse if such material will be in the interest of the majority of the members of the group.
7. When forwarding a message, picture or video and you’re choosing multiple recipients, avoid sending it to all your groups, since hardly the same content will be suitable or of interest to all.
8. Avoid unnecessary debates. Avoid messages that may cause communal disharmony ( usual suspects are political and religious topics)
9. When replying to a specific comment from a person, use the “reply” function to make sense of your comment and avoid confusion.
10. When noticing that you’re having a dialogue with a single member of the group, consider changing the conversation to direct message, because the rest of the group may not be interested in reading your conversation with another person.
