Posting Content (Posts/Questions/Replies/Private Messages):
Content posted by individual members does not represent the views of the [organisation] or HealthUnlocked.
Posting content on this community is taken as your agreement to post information that is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge, and is primarily drawn from personal experience. You are encouraged to post content about your own experience with [Hughes Syndrome/APS] (or that of a loved one), ask questions, and offer support and advice.
Remember that content in this community does not replace the relationship between you and doctors or other healthcare professionals nor the advice you receive from them.
Content should never be abusive, derogatory, sexually explicit or suggestive, deliberately misleading, unsafe or contain spam. If you believe someone else’s content violates this rule, please report it via the “Report” button. Content that is felt to violate this policy or Terms of use will either be edited or removed. All reports are read by admins and moderators and it is their judgement on what action, if any, is taken.
Neither GHIC nor HealthUnlocked is responsible for any offence or injury that a member may draw from another member’s content.

Moderation helps maintain a safe, positive environment for all members of the community. If there is a breach of these Community Guidelines or HealthUnlocked’s Terms of use:

Online Safety:
In this community, there may be discussions of health-related issues and sharing of personal information.
Please note that the Hughes Syndrome - APS Support Community is an open site, meaning that any posts are searchable by internet search engines and can be shared via social media platforms. The default setting of posts allows them to be visible to individuals who are not members of the community. If you would rather your content was not searchable, you can change the visibility of your post by selecting "Only community members" before clicking submit. This will result in only the post title and first line of text being visible to those who are not members of the community. However, doing this will limit the number of people who will find and benefit from the information you have shared. We suggest members leave posts open for everyone to find if they are comfortable doing so to ensure more people find communities and benefit from the wealth of information on HealthUnlocked.
For your own safety, you should not disclose personal information such as your full name, email address, home address, telephone number, or any other information which could directly or indirectly identify you. (We do not advise identifying personal photographs)
