posting and moderation guidelines

To maintain the integrity and applicability of this platform, all posts must adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Content Relevance

Posts should focus on academic opportunities related to Architecture, including, but not limited to:
- Job postings (academic positions only)
- Calls for papers and conference announcements
- Grants, fellowships, and funding opportunities
- Book launches and major publication announcements
- Academic events and symposiums
Commercial promotions, for example copyediting, rendering, and various consulting services are not permitted.
Posts must be relevant to the Australasian and architectural scholarship community.
s-architecture is not intended to promote local city-level events. Only post local city-level architecture-related events if relevant to a national/international audience.

2. Submission Format

Ensure clarity and professionalism in your post, while maintaining the community noticeboard style preferred by users.
Use concise subject lines that accurately describe the post content: For example: Call for Papers /// Event name, dates, location
Avoid attachments or embedded images. All post information must be in-text.
When applicable, provide a clear deadline for time-sensitive opportunities.

3. Posting Frequency

Do not repost the same content excessively. If a repost is necessary (e.g., deadline extensions or updates), indicate this clearly in the subject heading and text body.
Please check the s-architecture blog to ensure that the content has not already been posted by others.

4. Respectful and Inclusive Communication

Ensure that all posts are respectful and professional.
Use inclusive language that supports diversity within the academic community.
Posts should be culturally competent and avoid discriminatory or exclusionary language.

5. Academic/Research Employment Postings

All academic/research employment postings must be free to access and should not require a paid subscription to view or apply.
Include job title, institution, location (if applicable), application deadline, and a brief description in the post text-body – no attachments.
If linking to an external application portal, ensure the link is accessible and clearly labelled.

6. Moderation and Approval

Moderators reserve the right to decline posts that do not align with the s-architecture platform’s purpose or AASA’s values.
If a post is rejected, feedback may be provided on request to help users refine their submissions.
Users are encouraged to report any inappropriate or irrelevant posts.
