VHS Public Relations FAQ

Q: What is vhs-pr? A: VHS Public Relations is a working group to receive 'contact us' messages for VHS, and respond to these messages in a mature fashion that will keep our image positive in the community.

Q: Who can join? A: VHS-PR is for Members Only™.

Q: Should all messages be responded to? A: All messages should receive at least one reply to the public list. Possible replies:

  • “Spam” - useful to signal that others can ignore. Use your judgement wisely.
  • “Forward to vhs-members” - Sometimes the message should be forwarded to vhs-members or vhs-general for broader reach. Use your judgement wisely.
  • Some messages will require a short response to answer a question. vhs-pr members are encouraged to answer people's questions and connect to other members of the VHS and our extended community. See “Response Guidelines” below for more details.
  • Any other messages for VHS will require discussion within vhs-pr before replying.

Response Guidelines:

  • Be polite and helpful. No snark. You are representing VHS, and even if you feel the person deserves the response, that public image WILL be conveyed to others.
  • If they are possibly trolling us, try to troll hug them.
  • Give yourself an Official Title of the VHS like “Director of Community Outreach” or something that strikes your fancy.
  • Always CC vhs-pr, for transparency and to feed the hivemind.
  • Extract common responses into a template and share them on this page.
