Following Feeds and Posting

Before reading on please ensure that you have understood the following topics:

• Getting Started/Overview
• Personally Signing Up To SQUIZZ.com
• Connecting With People

After logging into the SQUIZZ.com platform you have the ability to find feeds that have been created by organisations, created by people who are your contacts, and created by yourself. There are 2 types of feeds, "Personal Feeds" that have been created against people, and "Organisation Feeds" that have been created against organisations/businesses. You can find personal feeds of a person once you have connected to the person. Organisation feeds can be found by navigating to an organisation's profile, then clicking on the Feeds button, which will then load up all the posts for all the feeds that you are allowed see for the given organisation. Both People and organisations may create multiple feeds, with each feed covering a specific topic or subject matter. For example an organisation may have a feed called "Latest News" that contains posts covering the latest news items associated with the organisation. A person may create a feed called "Friends and Family" that contains post about things that is happening with their friends and family. Separately an organisation may have a feed called "Products Deals" that contains posts about the product deals that are currently available when buying products from the organisation. It's up to people and organisations to define the feeds that they wish to create, and with each feed it may contain a description that allows you to understand what topic the feed is covering. By default when you first sign up to the SQUIZZ.com platform a number of personal feeds will automatically be created for you. You can modify, post on or remove these personal feeds as you wish.

Posting and Commenting On Feeds

Within a feed you may have permission to post a message, or comment on a message already posted within a feed. This allows you to engage with people within the feed, ask questions, provide answers, add feedback, and be a part of a community. Additionally with each posted message or comment you may click on one of the following:

• Like
  Means that you like the content of the message or comment posted. The person who posted the message or comment will be notified that you have read their message and liked what they have said.

• ACK or Acknowledge
  Means that you have understood the content of the message and have acknowledged it. This allows the person who posted the message or comment to be notified that you have read it and acknowledged what they were saying.
   
• Dislike
  Means that you have understood the content of the message or comment the person has posted and disliked what they were saying, or did not agree with what they were saying. It's important to be careful and respectful when disliking another person's post or comment since the person who wrote the message may take it personally. If you dislike a person's post or comment it may be worth replying back to them and provide constructive feedback as to why you disliked what they had posted.
   
• Report
  Means that you have understood the content of the posted message or comment and have been offended by the content to the point where you think that it should be taken down. Reporting a posted message or comment should not be taken lightly, and only used where you think the posted content is completely disrespectful to you or a broad range of people. If enough people report a posted message or comment then the platform may automatically hide the content from being shown. If you falsely report posted messages or comments then you may be blocked from accessing the SQUIZZ.com platform, as per Terms and Conditions of the platform. If a person or organisation's posted content is continually being reported then they may be blocked from accessing the platform for a period of time.
   

Following Feeds

When viewing a feed there may to option to "follow" a feed. When you choose to follow a feed it will be added to your list of feeds so that you can easily find it from within the platform's menu. Additionally by following a feed you are allowing to receive notifications when new messages are posted within a feed. You will only receive notifications when an organisation's administrator of a feed chooses to notify you of a message posted within the feed. This allows you to receive selected news or messages related to the feeds you are following.

Within the SQUIZZ.com there are two types of feeds that can be created, these are:

Public Feeds

Public feeds can be seen by any person in the general public, regardless of whether a person is logged into the platform or not. Any of the posts within a public feed can be viewed by the general public, and anybody signed up to the platform may follow a public feed. regardless of whether they are connected to an organisation or not. If you post a message within a public feed it's generally advisable to think about the broad range of people who may see it, and to compose a message that is respectful to the public audience, and on topic.

Private Feeds

People may create private personal feeds. A private feed is not accessible to the general public, and can only been seen by people who are connected to the person who created the private feed. To follow a person's private feed you first must be connected to the person. Then from the Contacts menu you can view a list of private feeds that they have set and choose to follow the person's private feeds. Once you are following a private feed then the Home page of the platform within the News Feed you will be able to see new posts made to the private feed, as well as access all of a private feed's posts via accessing the private feed within the feeds menu.

Exclusive Feeds

Both people and organisations may create private feeds. A private feed is not accessible to the general public, and can only been seen by you and other people once you have been invited to the follow the feed. To follow an organisation's exclusive feed you first must be connected to the organisation, then a person within the organisation must have sent you an invite the follow the feed. To follow a person's exclusive feed you must first be connected to the person, then the person needs to have sent you an invite to follow the exclusive feed. Only once you have accepted the invitation can you then see the posts within the exclusive feed, and see the posts on the News feed on the Home page. Exclusive feeds are a way for you to receive exclusive news or talk within an intimate community about topics that should not be accessible to the general public. For example an organisation may create a private feed called "Internal Staff" that may allow only current employees of an organisation to discuss areas about the business. Another private feed called "Exclusive Deals" may exist that only allows special customers or club members receive news when new products can be purchased before the general public. A person may contain an exclusive feed to talk about sensitive topics that they wish to share to a handful of chosen people.
