Bethel Park Social Media Code of Conduct
The Municipality of Bethel Park uses its websites and various social media platforms to inform and inspire our residents and businesses. Comments and feedback from our residents and businesses are essential to the Municipality in our mission to provide timely and effective communications and excellence in all that we do. To foster harmony, we’ve established a code of conduct for visitors to our website and social media platforms. We reserve the right to remove or edit any post or comment that fails to meet the following criteria:
1. No vulgar language – If you shouldn’t say it in polite company, you shouldn’t say it here.
2. No bullying, personal attacks, hate speech, or harassment – This applies to anyone, including other users, staff, or elected officials.
3. No false information
5. No spam
6. No off-topic comments – Keep comments related to the post being made.
7. No Business Advertising – Comments regarding raising money for charity are okay, but they must be relevant to the post and no more than 1 per post. Posts or comments not meeting this code will be removed without warning. Repeated attempts to circumvent this code of conduct will result in removing your ability to comment on our feed. We employ software to monitor our feeds for posts that break these rules. However, it occasionally triggers a false positive and automatically hides the comment. All hidden comments are reviewed within two business days, and we will manually unhide any false positives. As always, you can submit any private concerns via our website https://bethelpark.net/contact/citizen-action-line/
You may reach the Web and Social Media Team via the built-in direct messaging system on that platform, and we will do our best to direct you to the appropriate department or get a quick answer.
