The Everyday Muslim social media code of conduct

Our social media presence is focused on helping people find out more about, discuss and engage with the Everyday Muslim heritage and archive collections, but also with public archive and heritage collections and research. It is intended to encourage cross-cultural understanding, storytelling and inclusive, lively debate. The views expressed by our users and followers are their own and may not represent the views of Everyday Muslim, its Trustees, employees, or affiliates.

We love hearing from you and, to ensure that everyone has a positive experience, here are a few house rules for being part of our online community:

Protect privacy

Avoid posting any personal information. Any posts that include an email address, phone number, address or other personal information will be removed.

Stay on topic

We welcome debate and discussion, but please keep comments relevant to the original post, and don’t repeat the same message across multiple unrelated posts. Off topic posts or comments are likely to be removed.

Be respectful

Please avoid posting any hateful, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory or harassing comments, images or videos, or anything that could be deemed offensive to others. Such comments and posts will be removed and will most likely result in you being banned or blocked.

Don’t advertise or self-promote

Avoid making posts or comments that serve as advertisements for yourself or others. We will remove any links, images, messages, etc. that advertise or promote the goods or services of individuals, businesses or causes and such postings will most likely result in you being banned or blocked.

Don’t infringe intellectual property

Avoid posting anything that is not your original creative content or that you do not have a lawful right to post. Infringed branded logos, graphics, copyrighted text, images or videos that come to our attention will be removed, and you risk being banned or blocked.

Know what to expect

We try to monitor social media platforms excluding UK national holidays. We aim to respond to all enquiries related to the Everyday Muslim archive and collections as quickly as possible during these hours, but please note that some enquiries can take longer to resolve. It is also, important to note that we cannot respond to queries related to other organisations and their collections. Although, their contact details should be made available in the information they provide on our site.

If you can’t find what you are looking for, and haven’t heard back from us within 48 hours, or would like to make a suggestion or complaint, email info@everydaymuslim.org. Unfortunately, we are only able to respond to enquiries made in English.
