Facebook Code Of Conduct

Be respectful and civil to fellow users—even if you disagree with
them. Attack the idea, not the person.
Posts suggesting or implying violent behavior, attacking other users,
or using derogatory, racist, sexist, discriminating, or vulgar
language will not be tolerated
Comments promoting political parties, politicians, personal agendas
(and/or off-topic links) are viewed as spam, and are prohibited.
Failure to adhere to these basic rules will result in comment deletion
and/or a ban of user privileges based on the severity and volume of
offending posts. Users will be banned from posting using a progressive
three-strike system.

A first time offender will be banned for 14 days, with a second
offense resulting in a 30-day ban.
To have a ban lifted after the 14 or 30 day "cooling-off periods," the
user must send an email to contact.occup...@gmail.com
explaining in their own words why they were banned, and requesting
that their posting abilities be reinstated.
After a second offense, any further violations will result in a user
permanently losing their posting privileges within the Occupy Los
Angeles Facebook group.
Let's work together to move toward a better democracy.

Thank you.

Team Rules
1) Our decision making process is based on a 75% consensus model, with
a voting quorum reached in one of two ways, whichever comes first.

75% of the active team has voted on an issue.
At least 3 people have voted, and 48 hours* has elapsed since the
question was asked.
Emergency proposals only require 12 hours.
2) The Occupy Los Angeles Social Media team has one point person that
is selected by team consensus, and that position will be rotated every
calendar month.

3) Occupy Los Angeles Social Media accounts will not be used to
promote or solicit donations for any person, group, project, event or
action unless it has been approved by the Los Angeles General
Assembly, or is supported by an Occupy LA Committee or Affinity Group.
We agree to not promote personal agendas, any political parties,
organizations or corporations on Occupy Los Angeles Social Media
pages.

4) In the interest of account security, no more than 16 team members
will have password access to the Occupy Los Angeles social media
accounts at any given time.

5) If a person is interested in joining the Social Media team, and the
individual is not known to have violated the movement's principles of
solidarity, our team policies, or our code of conduct, that person
will be welcomed to become a member of the Occupy Los Angeles Social
Media team. If a person is deemed ineligible for not adhering to any
of the above mentioned criteria, those concerns will be stated and
they will be given an opportunity to provide a rebuttal. Social Media
will then re-examine the persons eligibility, and if the individual
team members that have expressed reservations feel that their concerns
have been satisfied, the candidate will be welcomed to join the team.

6) Anyone with a known history of aggressive physical or verbal
behavior toward any member of the Occupy Los Angeles community will
not be allowed to serve on the Occupy Los Angeles Social Media team.
Anyone who has participated in behavior that is divisive and therefore
threatens solidarity will also be excluded. One violent comment or
call for violence in any form eliminates you from the team, with no
return option.

7) If a team member is removed for rules violations, they will be
required to attend two meetings, take one week leave, and their first
shift back must be shadowed in order to return. Returning membership
must be brought to consensus vote.

8) You will be responsible for a day-long shift. If you cannot fulfill
this shift, you must provide the entire team with 12 hours advanced
notice. If you miss a shift without advanced notice, you will no
longer be considered a member of the social media team.

9) You are expected to attend our Social Media meeting, Sundays at 3pm
at Grand Central Market or RSVP regrets. If you choose not to attend 2
meetings (and do not RSVP regrets) you will no longer be considered a
member of the social media team.

10) You must put your initials on every post that you make on our
social media pages. You can use fake initials.

11) Amendments to these rules can be made, however you can only make
amendments during our team meetings or during online meetings. Rules
can be changed upon 75% consensus model.

This is from OLA Media Team, right?

Quick note - They have a good sized crew of about 12 or so. We are much less. A lot of these rules idea would apply with a team of 5 or more who meet regularly and have a larger array of projects. Right now, our media activity is pretty much FB, the web, newsletter, and a Tweet or two a month. Interesting to see how they operate though.

gring..  that is from OLA Social Media...  not Media Team...  and also not to be confused with OLAASM.. (ola ANTI social media - egad that left for diff thread... or not at all)... 

 there are 50+ on the Ola Media Google Group (invite only w 4 admins)... which if you are interested is a 3-strike rule -  (so far 2 people have been  banned. this was over a month ago - and currently in midst of re-instating - since media mtgs now on sundays i am unable to attend):

Rules

  • Content Contribution: Minimum one (1) content or other objectively verifiable contribution every two (2) weeks. 
  • Code of Conduct: No personal attacks upon others.
  • No Mixed Emails Between Email List Services: Ex. You receive an email from OLA's general list service and respond to that list and also include the OccupyLa Media list service. This rule is intended to stop massive unsolicited emails from non-media email, which disrupts our committee operation and devalues other important emails by increased volume of irrelevant and/or unwanted emails. The media committee member must not initiate to send or forward any email that concurrently includes BOTH the media committee group email AND any other group email as its receiver. When the same content needs to reach multiple groups, the sender must make a separate email for non-media committee groups. A violator of this rule may receive a warning from a media committee member. Any media committee member who has received three documented warnings is subject to probation and 30-day ban from the media committee group email.
  • Three strikes: If somebody violates media committee rules enough times that their behavior is the subject of discussion at a minimum of at least three (3) media committee meetings, then they are subject to probationary period and time out from the team (to be decided by the media committee, per consensus, at a media committee meeting). Members placed on probation will NOT be announced at GA, as to give that member the opportunity to adjust their behavior respectfully within the group. If the violator continues to violate rules beyond three strikes, the violator may then be subject to expulsion and announcement at GA.
  • Conflict resolution: It is the goal of the media committee that each member, if they have an issue or problem with another media committee member, is highly encouraged they communicate directly with one another to resolve the issue. We realize we are a diverse group of voices, opinions, experience and talent and encourage the bridging of these differing perspectives into unity.
