Accountability, Intent & Context

Accountability, Intent & Context

You are responsible for activity performed through your account. Secure it with a unique password and multi-factor authentication. Report a suspected compromise promptly; a compromise may explain an incident but does not automatically undo its impact.

Humour, irony, quoting, role-play, cultural context, intoxication, anger, or “my friend posted it” are not automatic exemptions. Staff assess the content, foreseeable impact, surrounding context, severity, and pattern of behaviour.

Honest misunderstandings may be corrected at a lower level. Deliberate harm, concealment, repeated conduct after correction, coordinated behaviour, or attempts to manufacture an excuse may increase the response.
