To make it really good and happy and wonderful, one could just make a blog post/page on the official website and link to it from the social media in question. That way people know: links to official website = official stuff. No link, just a ARR COME OUT BANG STICKS DRINK BEER AT ALGIFUDTHORVALDWINAR'S PLACE AT 5 TONIGHT = not official.<div>

<div>So that basically means is that you can announce a practice in your yard,
and its not considered ‘official’ if you do it on facebook, but if you get it on
the ‘official’ Hartwood webpage then it is. Which is pretty much what I
told some dummies a long time ago. Glad to see they finally formalized
it. You can still double post stuff on both FB and the webpage too –
and you can make events on FB and invite people – you just have to put ‘not an
official SCA invite’ on the thing. Makes sense to me.</div>

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