OFFICIAL KCGB GUIDELINES

We want everyone to enjoy their experience here and we want to hear from you and encourage comments, questions, and suggestions. We ask that you simply stay on topic, respect other people’s opinions, avoid profanity, offensive statements, illegal content, and anything else that might otherwise upset our members.
• While debating and healthy discussions are fine, the admin will not tolerate rudeness, Offensive or violent language, insulting and defamatory posts, Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or political beliefs, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, which is why KCGB is here.
• Please do not offer medical advice unless qualified to do so
• We will also not tolerate abusive behaviour via PM to any member from another member and will take behaviour like this very seriously should it be brought to our attention. Attacks on specific groups or any comments meant to harass, threaten or abuse an individual will be deleted and the member banned.
• Spamming is strictly not allowed. Facebook has spam filters for multiple identical posts. You will be deleted and banned. Links or comments containing sexually explicit content material will be deleted. Violations of copyright or intellectual property rights will be deleted.
