Introduction and Overview

Southern Steel operates a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SouthernSteelNetball  and welcomes and encourages visitor feedback, comments and appropriate discussion.

The purpose of our social media activity is to develop strong community relationships and foster supporter engagement through information and education sharing.

We adhere to Facebook's own guidelines and Terms of Use and remind users that they are held under the same obligations with regards to use and content.

We have further developed our own moderation guidelines to ensure that wherever possible and practical, content that is posted supports the stated purpose and aims of our organisation.

Please be aware that by posting online content there is unlimited potential for people to read your words and view your images, even years from now. As a result, we suggest that you exercise caution when posting on any of our social media sites before voluntarily disclosing any personally identifiable information about yourself.
