Who may use mc² ?

My Connected Community (mc²) is provided by the Victorian Government in Australia, as a free community resource for the benefit of all Victorians, both community groups and individuals (see the About section for the program background).

Note that mc² is only to be used in the spirit in which it is intended: as a resource to establish genuine and viable communities of members, interacting regularly online. Groups should not be established with the sole aim of promoting another Website (i.e., with few members or discussion, just a link to another site), nor just as a way to get extra free webspace for an individual.

Online groups created at this site must be community-based groups, and have perceived interest, value or relevance to the people of Victoria, Australia. Other groups may be removed. Community based groups include special interest groups such as sporting clubs or hobby groups, support groups, not-for-profit organisations, local government entities, state government agencies and peak bodies. mc² also works with Project Partners to target specific sectors of the Victorian community:

mc² is a non-commercial webspace. It is not intended that any group or individual use mc² services solely for commercial gain or business purposes. mc² does not allow the use of the webpage generator, hosting, or any other services or features for commercial purposes. For example, as a free vehicle for sales or promotion of products or services; or onselling the freely provided mc² services etc. If you have a commercial interest or business, you may contact us for clarification.

Advertising material (e.g. banner ads) or promotion of commercial activities (e.g. links to commercial sites) are permitted on your web site and/or in your community, however, as long as your organisation or content is not developed solely for commercial gain. E.g. a non-profit organisation can recognise and acknowledge their sponsors, or endeavour to promote its fundraising activities. Be aware, however, that excessive commercial content can detract from the value of your community message. Note also, that any attempt by a purely commercial organisation to profit from the free resources provided at mc², may result in the removal of such content, without notice. If you are unsure, contact us for clarification.

To use mc², you must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the Registration Form and nominating a login and password (Registration Data).See also Security: Logging in & Out. You agree to maintain and update this Registration Data as required to keep it current, complete and accurate. E.g. if you change your email address, you must update it via My Profile.

Each person is allowed only one login. Each login must represent a real (not fictitious) entity. Bogus, fake, dummy, inappropriate or duplicate logins, and all associated groups and data, will be removed without notice.

It is a requirement that all owners of Groups/Communities at mc² maintain a current email address as a contact point, visible on the Group Info page. This address may be used by both potential members wishing to join a group, as well as by mc² staff who need to contact a group owner, e.g. to inform them their group is about to be removed as inactive.
