Twitter Policy

Content

  • The VRU Twitter account is managed by the communications team on behalf of the VRU.
  • We may occasionally use some automation (such as tools which generate tweets from RSS feeds) but intend that this will not dominate the messages posted.
  • If you follow us you can expect between 2 – 10 tweets a day covering some or all of the following:
    • Alerts about new content on our website, videos on YouTube, speeches, publicity campaigns, etc
    • Information about new research
    • Invitations to provide feedback on specific issues on which we are consulting
    • Information from our team about what they are doing
    • Occasional live coverage of events

Following

If you follow us (@vruscotland) we will not automatically follow you back. This is to discourage the use of direct messaging, avoid resource wasting spam handling and so that you can easily identify other key Twitter users that we think are relevant to our work. Being followed by the VRU does not imply endorsement of any kind.

Availability

We will update and monitor our Twitter account during office hours, Monday – Friday. Twitter may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service due to Twitter downtime.

@Replies and Direct Messages

We welcome feedback and ideas from our followers and endeavour to join the conversation where possible, however, we are not able to reply individually to all the messages we receive via Twitter.
