: Subject: [STEPS] Social Media and the SCA - A clarification
:
: The SCA Board of Directors has determined that social media websites may
: not be used for ‘official’ SCA business.
:
: What does this mean?
:
: While we do not discourage the use of Facebook and such to get the word
out
: or for private group forums, it cannot be the official medium of any SCA
entity
: (branches, guilds etc). Any social media site being used to enhance the
SCA
: activities should include a disclaimer stating that these pages, lists etc
are
: NOT official and do not reflect SCA policies.
:
: The most important aspect is that, as per the Calendar Policy, for events
to be
: considered official they must be registered with the branch seneschal AND
: published in the branches official media whether a website or a
newsletter.
: This includes level 4 events which are meetings and practices. Failure to
meet
: this criteria (for example, a practice only published on Facebook) results
in the
: activity not being sanctioned by the SCA and the liability insurance not
: covering that activity.
:
: With regards to websites, it is also recommended that official branch
websites
: be hosted on one of the existing servers (e.g antir.sca.org  tirrigh.org).
This
: prevents an individual web officer from taking his website and going home
if
: he becomes disgruntled with a local branch leaving the branch without
their
: website. This has happened on multiple occasions in the past year. The
: associated webteams have assured me that there is plenty of existing space
to
: do this. SO if your branch site is a Facebook site, you need to have that
: changed asap.
:
: Hosting these sites on the official servers means a stable platform and a
: reliable back-up.
