Moderation
Posts on Naître et grandir’s social media pages are moderated after they are published on a daily basis by the salaried team. This may be done because a post was flagged as inappropriate and/or through random audits. The moderator’s role is to ensure that interactions comply with the code of ethics and applicable laws.

The moderator’s role is not to censor or reply to messages. Furthermore, neither the moderator nor other social media users should be considered as health care professionals.
Rules of conduct
- Be thoughtful: Remember that comments and messages are visible immediately after you post them. Bear in mind that many people will read what you post. That could include a current or future coworker or boss. Be careful what you write. Read over your message before submitting it, as it cannot be edited once it’s posted. Think before you post so you don’t post something you regret.
- Be polite: Be courteous and respectful. Insults and defamatory or offensive comments are strictly forbidden and will be deleted.
- Use capital letters only when necessary: TYPING IN ALL CAPS MAKES IT SEEM LIKE YOU’RE SHOUTING.
- Use emoticons sparingly: Emoticons can help convey the intended tone of a message, but use them in moderation. :-) is an example of an emoticon. Don’t assume that an emoticon will help your message land better or take the sting out of an insulting comment.
- Be clear and to the point: When replying to a message, quote only what is necessary to understand the context. Stay on topic, avoid unnecessary digressions, and don’t comment simply to point out other people’s spelling errors or typos. Read the whole thread before posting a reply.
Responsibility
Please be aware that any comment may be read, used, reproduced, and quoted by other users. You are entirely responsible for the content of the messages you post. Naître et grandir’s responsibility is simply to ensure that the rules of conduct and Canadian laws are respected.
- Copyrighted materials: Do not copy any materials that belong to others (book excerpts, movies, websites, etc.). Make sure you respect copyright laws.
- Reliability of information: Only publish information that you know to be accurate. If you share medical information or other data, include your sources (references, links, etc.), unless it’s based on your own personal experience.
