LOR is a private foundation that works with individuals and organizations to kick-start projects that benefit rural places in the Mountain West. Our name shares our values: livability, opportunity, and responsibility. We believe that many small actions can create lasting change, and we support solutions to problems the community has identified as priorities. And sometimes it’s simply connecting people and organizations with resources—and to each other. LOR Social Media Comment Guidelines
The LOR Foundation uses social networking platforms to share news and connect with our audiences. LOR requests that all comments posted on our social media channels be respectful and courteous. This Social Media Comment Guidelines sets forth an understanding of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable regarding posting of comments on LOR's social media channels. We encourage all users to engage and participate in discussions on our social media channels. However, this does not imply that LOR agrees with or accepts the content, opinions, or views stated in comments posted by users. Users are fully responsible for the content of their own comments and messages; LOR accepts no responsibility for any content posted by users. By posting content to any LOR social media channel, users understand and acknowledge that this information is available to the public, and that others may use posted information without LOR knowledge or control. LOR regularly reviews comments posted and messages sent by users to LOR's social media channels. Although social media is a 24/7 medium, our moderation capabilities are not. Moderating and reviewing comments and messages should only be expected to occur during normal business hours. LOR reserves the right to remove any comment from LOR social media channels if LOR believes, in its sole discretion, that such comment:
- Uses profane, vulgar, obscene, racist, threatening, harassing, bullying, violent, sexually explicit or abusive language, images, graphics, or video
- Incites hatred or violence, or uses hate speech
- Is inappropriate or offensive
- Is suggestive or encouraging of illegal activity
- Is libelous or contains personal attacks of any kind, including use of offensive terms that target particular people or groups of people
- Includes personally identifiable information, such as an email address or phone number
- Is irrelevant or off topic to the original post
- Distributes false or misleading information or makes unsupported accusations
- Includes privileged, personal, proprietary, or other confidential information
- Infringes copyright or trademark laws
- Posts spam or advertisements, promotes products or services, or engages in coordinated inauthentic behavior
- Engages in political campaigning or lobbying
- Duplicates or repeats previous posts
- Engages in deliberate impersonation or trolling
- Includes personal attacks of any kind
LOR will also remove comments that violate Facebook's Terms of Service and Community Standards. We expect the use of our social media platforms as a place where ideas and information are shared in a respectful manner. If a user repeatedly violates the LOR comment guidelines in their comments or messages, or engages in other disruptive behavior, LOR reserves the right to block them from all of our social media channels. AI Transparency
The LOR Foundation may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with content creation, research, data analysis, and administrative tasks. AI-generated content is reviewed by staff before publication. AI-generated and AI-assisted information may contain errors or omissions. Users should not rely solely on AI-generated and AI-assisted content when making important decisions.
