Social Media Guidelines

 

Social Media Community Guidelines

Clear communication is at the root of any good relationship. That’s why we’re excited to share what we’re doing in local communities and what it’s like to work at Quorum. However, because banking is such a highly regulated industry, we have to follow certain rules.

Our Social Media pages are public, which means that anyone can see your posts on Facebook and your posts may even show up in search-engine results (like on Google or Yahoo!). While we want to foster healthy discussion, we may occasionally remove posts that don’t fit our community guidelines.

Because our Social Media pages are public pages and anyone can participate, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.

We encourage everyone to:

  • Stay on topic, use common courtesy and be respectful of others
  • Submit your own original content, and avoid content that you know to be fraudulent
  • Do not post someone else’s copyrighted work unless you have permission
  • Never post personal, identifying or confidential information

Please note that this page is moderated by Quorum employees. We’ll make every effort to respond in a timely manner; however, we can’t guarantee that we’ll reply to every comment.

Customer Service Inquiries

If you are a customer with a question about a Quorum account, you can contact a member service representative via our

Quorum has a presence in various social media/social networking outlets and may occasionally identify and respond to customers seeking assistance with banking-related issues. In the event a customer receives such a communication from the credit union regarding a service request or other need, the customer may be offered other Quorum channels to help address those concerns as smoothly and effectively as possible.

Those are the basics. Our full policies are listed below.

Comment and Posting Policy

We expect conversations to follow the rules of polite discourse and we ask that participants treat each other, as well as our employees, with respect. We may delete comments or posts that we deem to be:

  • Profane, obscene, inappropriate, disruptive or unrelated.
  • Indecent, sexually explicit or pornographic material of any kind — including masked profanity where symbols, initials, intentional misspellings or other characters are used to suggest profane language.
  • Threats; personal attacks; abusive, defamatory, derogatory, or inflammatory language; or stalking or harassment of any individual, entity or organization.
  • Discriminatory or that contain hateful speech of any kind regarding age, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or disability.
  • False, inaccurate, libelous or otherwise misleading in any way.
  • Spam, or containing or linking to any kind of virus, malware, spyware, or similar program that could cause harm to a user’s computer.

While we welcome reasonable critiques, we may delete negative comments about Quorum and/or our competitors that aren’t relevant and don’t add to the overall experience.

We may delete comments that we deem to be off topic, including solicitations. In addition, we may remove identical posts by the same user or multiple users (a group of people sending identical messages or one person submitting under different aliases). In the case of identical posts, we will leave the first submission and delete the duplicates.
