Facebook Group Rules, Terms, & Conditions

The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) Local Navigator Network (LNN) Facebook groups were launched to provide LNNs with an easy-to-use platform for sharing information about your LNN and other navigation-related issues.

Here are the main rules for the groups:

  1. LNN Facebook Group Management: The LNN leaders are responsible for managing and updating their Facebook groups. AONN+ will oversee the groups, but is not responsible for updating information or managing the groups and their members. LNN leaders must review and approve or reject any new group member requests they receive and are responsible for ensuring only relevant, professional members are allowed into their group. The LNN leader(s) will be responsible for communicating the name and contact information of the current LNN Facebook group contact with AONN+/the AONN+ LNN Liaison. LNN leader(s) must inform AONN+/the AONN+ LNN Liaison about any changes in the management of their Facebook group.
  2. Be respectful of other members: Insults, obscenities, or personal attacks will not be tolerated and may result in you being suspended or banned from the group. We will also remove anyone found publishing negative comments about AONN+ (or its members) in other online forums or publications.
  3. Keep it clean: No swearing, rudeness, or offensive language.
  4. Keep on topic: Please only post about the LNN and navigation-related subjects. We may remove any posts that are not relevant to the group.
  5. Keep it legal: Submissions may not contain unauthorized disclosures of proprietary or confidential information, or content or materials that violate the copyrights, trademark rights, or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Users may not use the Facebook group to promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities or sexually explicit content for any purpose.
  6. Commercial promotion: Users may not use or attempt to use the Facebook group for commercial purposes. Submissions may not include advertisements for goods or services, solicitations, “spam,” or the like.
  7. Final say: AONN+ administrators reserve the right to make the final decision as to what posts and comments are visible on the site. We regularly moderate contributions that go against the letter or spirit of these rules. If we do remove something, we will generally remove the whole post, or where necessary, whole threads (not parts). We also reserve the right to suspend or ban you from the group at our sole discretion.
