GROUP ETHICS
DO’s
- Send messages for all in the Group; and not for an individual or to only some in the Group.
- To wish, thank or acknowledge anyone, please use their personal WhatsApp contact.
- The FIRST wish on a birthday or anniversary or any special occasion is permitted in the group, as it is also an information or reminder to the others.
- Keep to the purpose of the group. Send only relevant messages.
- Keep in mind that your words can be interpreted in multiple ways, so use short sentences that can’t be misinterpreted.
- Circulate only authentic and true messages. Ask yourself these four questions before posting: (1) Is it true? (2) Is it relevant? (3) Is it necessary? (4) Is this a good time to post?
- If someone asks a question and you don’t know the answer, solution, or suggestion; just wait for someone who knows the answer to reply; and don’t respond with “I don’t know.”
- Check the date of the news that you want to forward in the Group; and ensure it is not very old.
- It is better to be a silent spectator in the Group, than being a nuisance by responding to every message of the Group, in the Group.
- Politely excuse yourself before you leave a group.
- If you are the Group Administrator: offenders in the group should be warned personally; and
- repeated offenders can be removed permanently.
DON’Ts
- Do not share irrelevant messages about other topics in a particular group.
- Do not send one-on-one (personal) conversation in WhatsApp Group. Switch to private message by tapping the name / number above the message of the person with whom you want to reply.
- Good Morning / Good Night messages are irrelevant.
- Do not post negative messages on religion, community, region, political party because it may indirectly hurt others.
- Do not shame fellow member in the group.
- Do not forward advertisement messages or offer messages in the group, as most of them are fake and will collect all the contacts in the group.
- Avoid sending prayer-chain or surprise over recitation of prayer(s) in the group, as the purpose of the same is like the previous point.
- Don’t be offended if others leave the group. Not everyone wants the same information.
