HIERARCHY OF DISCIPLINE:
This is the process in which, if a visitor or follower of the EPCESD1/HFD social media feed has violated the guidelines outlined above, the appropriate measure will be taken to ensure enforcement of the rules and minimal impact to the page and other residents engaging with EPCESD1/HFD.

• First Offense: For an initial offense or casual offense (non-deliberate), a warning and reminder of the guidelines will be given. Warnings will be public and directly replied to the offending post, and a link to the Community Guidelines will be provided via a direct or private message.
• Second Offense: For a second offense or an initial offense that violates another members’ rights of freedom and safety, a public warning, public link to the guidelines, and deletion of the offending post shall be implemented.
• Third Offense: At such time as the previous warnings do not produce corrected behavior in the offender, hiding or posts or closing of comments will be implemented along with a 24-hour ban from the EPCESD1/HFD page or group. For cases of threats, hate speech, doxing, or other issues that could constitute more severe, the offender can be banned from posting for a period of time up to 30 days.
• Ban/Removal of Account: In the event, the offending party still insists on violating the publicly posted guidelines, a ban or removal of their account from the page or group is warranted. They will be unable to see, post, or be tagged in anything posted to EPCESD1/HFD page prior or since.
• Flooding: If in the event of banning or removal of a follower, it is subsequently found they have additional accounts following the EPCESD1/HFD page for the intended purpose of continued violation of the guidelines and disruptions of the community, all such accounts will be removed without application of the above steps, as the steps apply to the offender who originally was counseled and disciplined.
