Rules are like a business card for your group, setting the tone of the conversation. Here&#8217;s how to set up a Facebook group. You can add a few rules to govern the group, but you can skip these if you don&#8217;t want to. For example, the rules for your group should include the name, contact information, and description of the group.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_set_the_tone_of_a_groups_behavior\"><\/span>Rules set the tone of a group&#8217;s behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rules are the guiding principles of a group, governing how its members interact and behave. Such rules may be explicit or implicit, and refer to outputs and performance standards, as well as attitudes and dress codes. Explicit rules may be communicated verbally, in employee handbooks, or in membership policies. Groups may also use Robert&#8217;s Rules of Order or other formal rules, such as a dress code. In addition, the rules of a group can be subverted by members, and the punishment for violating them typically involves more specific sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Groups may adopt rules to control inappropriate behavior and to prevent future conflict. For example, in a group for &#8220;Game of Thrones,&#8221; the administrators may prohibit sharing images of injuries or requests for sponsorship. Group members may also not ask for weight-loss advice on dieting. Other groups may DM administrators for sponsorship opportunities, but the rules must specify the specific topic. This helps avoid potential misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_set_the_tone_for_a_groups_behavior\"><\/span>Rules set the tone for a group&#8217;s behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Group rules set the tone for group behaviour and can prevent conflict. Set them early on to establish expectations for a new group and set the tone for the group culture. Although some groups have little conflict, others are rife with arguments. To avoid this, set your rules before a group launches. Adding rules will make the group culture clear to members, and you should thank them when they enforce them.<\/p>\n<p>Setting rules is particularly crucial in buying and selling groups. For example, a buying and selling group might ban posts that mention the brands of their products, or those that ask for sponsorships. A group that bans such posts is also more likely to be chaotic, and rules can help to maintain order. Some examples are discussed below. A group selling triathlon gear might have rules requiring that all posts include the price. In a job group, recruitment agencies are the biggest problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Set Up a Facebook Group Before you start adding members to your group, it&#8217;s crucial to decide on a name and create some Rules.
