Hunterian Social Media Policy

The Hunterian is committed to becoming a more meaningful place for more diverse audiences. Our social media presence is focused on helping people to connect, reflect and experiment through our social media platforms.

The views expressed by our followers are their own and may not represent the views of The Hunterian, the University of Glasgow, their employees, or affiliates.

Engagement is great but we do not allow comments that constitute hate speech or abuse. Any comments that are considered to be hate speech or abusive will be hidden and reported to the social media platforms.

To ensure a positive experience, these are our guidelines for our online community:

  • No posting any personal information. Any personal information will be removed.
  • Stay on topic. We welcome discussion, but please keep comments relevant to the original post.
  • Be respectful. Please avoid posting any hateful, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory or harassing comments, images or videos, or anything that could be deemed offensive to others. Such comments and posts will be removed, and will most likely result in you being banned or blocked.
  • Don't advertise or self-promote. Don’t make posts or comments that serve as advertisements for yourself or others.
  • Don't infringe intellectual property. Avoid posting anything that isn't your original creative content or that you don't have a lawful right to post. Infringed branded logos, graphics, copyrighted text, images or videos that come to our attention will be removed, and you risk being banned or blocked.
  • Know what to expect. We aim to monitor our main social media platforms Monday to Friday throughout the year. Our core office hours are between 9.00am and 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, excluding UK national holidays. We aim to respond to all enquiries as quickly as possible, but please note that some enquiries can take longer to resolve.
