FanficTalk staff often use social media to promote or supplement activities that take place on the site (i.e., the archives or forums). All information necessary to fully participate in those activities can be found on either the site itself or our official social media accounts; it will not originate on any member's personal account.

Many members of FFT (including staff and prefects) do choose to interact outside the site, particularly through their personal social media accounts. While social media can at times feel like part of the site, we do not expect any of them to follow our site guidelines off-site, and comments from individual staff members on their personal social media accounts should not be taken as reflecting the views of FFT. In any community of our size, there are bound to be differences of opinion on social, political, and personal issues, which are sometimes highlighted in more casual settings; we encourage members to disconnect by muting, unfollowing, or blocking other members who post content that they have a negative reaction to.

The only times FFT staff will take an oversight role with off-site activity is in situations like:

• A member cheating during a site event or activity (e.g., quid pro quos),
• A member persistently sharing or trying to gain access to restricted information (e.g., a non-staff member attempting to gain access to the staff forums), or
• A member harassing another member (e.g., continuing to contact them after being asked to stop, repeatedly targeting them for personal attacks).

Members found doing any of these things might face consequences ranging from a verbal warning to a suspension to a ban. If you think you may have seen or experienced any of the above, please contact whichever staff member you feel most comfortable talking to.
