BFREPA Comment & Posting Policy

We welcome your participation and comments in our chat group online forums and social media forums. Our online sites are governed by the general rule of respectful civil discourse. You are fully responsible for everything that you post.

BFREPA does not discriminate against any views. Nevertheless, BFREPA may monitor any user-generated content as it chooses and reserves the right to remove content for any reason whatever, without consent. 

Users should be aware that some personal information such as their mobile phone number may be seen by other members of the group using WhatsApp.  

By joining the WhatsApp group, you agree to be respectful, polite, and courteous.

BFREPA retains the right to refuse, disallow requests to join, or remove individuals from WhatsApp groups for any reason.

Here are some of the rules we ask you to follow:

  • Please stay on topic. We will remove content that is clearly off-topic.
  • We may remove content that contains abusive, vulgar, offensive, racist, threatening or harassing content, personal attacks of any kind, offensive terms that target specific individuals or groups, is considered inciteful or any sexually explicit material.  Content which brings the free range egg industry into disrepute may also be removed. 
  • We will remove spam and any content that involves political campaigning or lobbying other than items related to free range egg production/farming.
  • We will remove comments that give the appearance of legal, medical or financial advice.
  • Gratuitous links to sites and repeat submissions of the same (or very similar) contributions are viewed as spam and may result in the content being removed.
  • Do not post anything that you do not have the right to post or include links to copyright infringing material. We will not post comments that appear to post material without permission, and we will follow a notice and takedown procedure for complaints of copyright violation under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
  • We will only post content from participants over 18 years of age.
  • Communications made through social media posts, e-mail, webinars, and messaging systems will in no way constitute a legal or official notice or comment to BFREPA or any official or employee of BFREPA for any purpose.
  • Do not submit anything you do not wish to broadcast to the general public as BFREPA are not responsible for anyone repeating or sharing content, comments or posts.
  • Users who do not comply with these standards of conduct may be blocked.
