Always keep to the purpose of the group, don’t share irrelevant messages about other topics.

Don’t spam our group. If you would like a group to share irrelevant information, set one up for that exact purpose and invite others to join.

Don’t be offended if others leave.

Politely excuse yourself before you leave the group.

Post your message in one single chunk of text, don’t post every word or sentence in a new message.

No insults to fellow members will  be entertained.

If you’re lurking in a group chat and ‘seeing’ every message, occasionally respond with *something* to remove the stalker vibe that inevitably develops

Do not have long one-on-one conversations in the group. Switch to private messages.

If a message asks for a positive response like an RSVP, don’t reply in the negative. Only say if you are able to attend.

Be brief and to the point.

If someone asks a question and you don’t know. Just wait for someone who knows the answer.

If you feel gratitude towards someone, Please don’t send in a hundred “thank you” messages. Tell them in a private message.

If someone asks a question of a personal nature respond to the person directly in private.

The group is not a political platform. No arguing, no heated opinions, no fear-mongering, no hyped-up drama, no fake news. Check your sources before you share.

Never EVER use the group to berate someone else or air personal grievances. If you have an issue address it one on one with the relevant person.

Don’t add random people to our group.

Always ask someone if you may add them before you add them.

Don’t send data-insensitive messages.

All communication shall be done in English.

Don't share Mama Africa's private messages with third parties, unless authorized to do so.

When the group has served its purpose (the hike is over) delete it.

If you are not sure, ask yourself these three questions before you post:

• Is this relevant?
• Is this necessary?
• Is this a good time to post?
