This site is moderated by us (Social Pinpoint) and our Clients. We moderate the site in order to create a productive and safe environment where people can engage with the project or each other without feeling intimidated. We also require that people who use this site agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before using.

The site uses either a (a) post-moderation tool where all content submitted by users on our site is immediately published and then reviewed by our moderators to ensure it complies with Social Pinpoint’s Moderation Policy or (b) pre-moderation tool where all content must be approved by our moderators before appearing on the site. In the first case, the user’s content is immediately posted on the site and then reviewed by the moderators. If the Client or Social Pinpoint finds that the content violates the Participation Rules and Guidelines (below), the user’s content will be rejected and the user may be notified via email. We reserve the right to edit or remove any content that has been posted on our site in our sole discretion.

In some cases, you may notice that your submitted content that was once posted no longer appears on the site. The content is only temporarily removed until the Client or Social Pinpoint has reviewed it to ensure it complies with the Moderation Policy. If your content has been rejected, you may be notified via email from the Client or Social Pinpoint. With the pre-moderation tool, moderators must review and approve the user’s content before it is posted onto the site. This may mean the user’s content does not immediately appear on the site.

Please think positively about your participation. This is an opportunity for you to share your ideas and create local impact, and also contribute to any project in a way that inspires others to also do so in a respectful matter.
