Dear NWHA Facebook Fans,

At NWHA, we consider ourselves fortunate to have an active group of fans on our page and we encourage you to post photos, videos, and to leave comments. As we are a horse-centric organization, we request that comments stay focused on that topic. Our goal is simply to offer a welcoming community, where all are free to share and participate. While we look forward to what you have to say, please note that we will remove postings that:
* Break the law or encourage others to do so. If you are talking about somebody else’s work, reference this or the person, and where possible include a link.
* Contain abusive or inappropriate language or statements. This includes remarks that are racist, homophobic and sexist as well as those that contain obscenities or are sexually explicit.
* Easily identify individuals within the organization in defamatory, abusive, or generally negative terms.
* Do not show proper consideration for others’ privacy or are considered likely to offend or provoke others – i.e. goad others into inflammatory debates.
* Are spam – i.e. repeatedly posting the same comment or comments that are simply advertising/promoting a service, product, brand, project, exchange opportunity or individual. The page administrators reserve the right to not post or remove any comments at any time, for any reason … but we hope that won’t ever be necessary. If you have a comment or would like to report an inappropriate comment for us to review, send an email to [email protected] . Thank you for stopping by!
