Social Media Guidelines

The Field Guide encourages intelligent conversation and welcomes questions, comments and debate on its social media platforms.

We value the opinion of our readers, but will distinguish between comments that contain constructive, relevant arguments and those that are abusive, offensive or could be construed as an attack.

We expect all commenters to consider the impact of their words and take responsibility for them. If we decide a comment is not in keeping with the spirit of this policy, we will remove it. We will also remove slanderous, defamatory or potentially libelous comments, and those that may breach copyright.

If you see an interaction on The Field Guide’s Facebook or Instagram feed that concerns you, please let us know.

This guide is not designed to stop people discussing things they’re passionate about. It is a reminder to think about how you express your views, and to be aware that some readers may misunderstand you.
