We reserve the right to remove any comments or content that does not adhere to our guidelines or with any other applicable Terms and Conditions, rules or laws.

If a user continues to breach the Community Guidelines, even after being warned by the moderators, they will be banned from the City of Bayswater’s relevant social media page. This is done to remove a user who is seen as persistently undermining the City’s Social Media Community Guidelines. We will inform the banned user as to why the ban has occurred, referring to the comment or content that has led to the decision and how it breached guidelines. Moderators will provide the banned user with an email address for contacting the moderators to regain access to the social media page. If contacted, moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to unban a user based on an assessment of whether the abusive behaviour will continue or not.

The City of Bayswater’s social media channels will be monitored and actively moderated from Monday to Friday, between 8am and 5pm AWST. Should you require an urgent response, contact the City of Bayswater on 9272 0622. As our social media accounts are not constantly monitored, inappropriate content may at times filter through. We will endeavour to remove such content as soon as possible. Privacy protection
Protect your personal privacy and that of others by not including personal information about yourself or others in your comments, such as names, email addresses, private addresses or phone numbers.
