=== Review and Deletion Procedures ===

* Where appropriate, contributors may be given an opportunity to correct, revise, or provide clarification regarding the content before deletion.
* Content that presents an immediate risk to privacy, security, legal compliance, or the integrity of the platform may be removed or restricted without prior notice.
* Deletion decisions shall be made by authorized administrators or designated personnel in accordance with these Rules and Regulations and applicable University policies.
* Where feasible and appropriate, deleted content may be retained in the platform's revision history or administrative records for accountability, investigation, or restoration purposes. Access to such records shall be subject to applicable privacy, security, and records-management requirements.
* Contributors who believe that their content was removed in error may request a review by contacting the [https://helpdesk.ilc.upd.edu.ph/ Iskomunidad administrators].

== Posting Guidelines ==
All users who create, edit, or upload content to Iskomunidad are expected to contribute responsibly and to respect the academic, informational, and community-oriented purpose of the platform.

* Articles should be written clearly, accurately, and objectively, using appropriate language and a format suitable for an academic and informational resource.
* Contributors should provide reliable references or sources when appropriate, particularly for factual claims, historical information, academic work, institutional records, and other information that benefits from verification.
* Content should be relevant to the subject of the article and should not be used primarily for personal promotion, advertising, harassment, or unrelated activities.
* Contributors should ensure that uploaded files, images, documents, and other media are relevant to the accompanying article and are accompanied by appropriate descriptions, source information, and attribution where applicable.

=== Accuracy and Responsible Contributions ===

* Contributors are responsible for ensuring that the information they submit is accurate to the best of their knowledge and is presented without deliberate misrepresentation.

* Information concerning the University, its constituent units, colleges, offices, personnel, students, and other members of the UP community must be presented responsibly and with appropriate context.
* Where information is disputed, contributors should provide supporting references and engage in constructive discussion rather than repeatedly reverting edits or engaging in personal disputes.

* Contributors must respect copyright, licensing conditions, and other intellectual property rights when creating or uploading content.
* Material obtained from books, websites, research papers, photographs, documents, or other sources must not be copied or distributed in violation of applicable rights or license terms.

* Photographs, documents, and other materials containing personal information must be reviewed before uploading to ensure that their publication is appropriate and authorized where necessary.
* Content that raises privacy or confidentiality concerns may be restricted, removed, or referred to the appropriate University office for further review.

=== Respectful and Responsible Participation ===

* Users must communicate respectfully and refrain from harassment, threats, personal attacks, discriminatory abuse, or other conduct that undermines constructive participation.
* Contributions must not contain defamatory material, malicious allegations, or knowingly false statements intended to harm the reputation of individuals or organizations.
* Users must not impersonate another person, misrepresent their identity or authority, or falsely claim that content has been officially approved or endorsed by the University or any of its units.
* Disagreements concerning content should be addressed through constructive discussion, appropriate citations, and established administrative procedures.
