The purpose of this ISDA operated Invasive Species of Idaho page is to promote the positive exchange of information pertaining to invasive species including: education, awareness, and prevention. Posted comments and images do not necessarily represent the views of ISDA. External, non-ISDA links on this site do not constitute official endorsement on behalf of the ISDA. While we encourage fans to share thoughts and opinions on ISDA page(s), we expect that this will be done in a respectful manner. ISDA does not agree with or endorse every comment that individuals post on our pages. Our goal is to share ideas and information with as many individuals as possible and our policy is to accept the majority of comments made to our profile. Even so, this is a Limited Public Forum. A comment will be deleted if it contains:
• Hate speech
• Profanity, obscenity or vulgarity
• Nudity or other inappropriate imagery in profile pictures
• Defamation to a person or people
• Name calling and/or personal attacks,
• Comments whose purpose is to sell a product
• Comments that infringe on copyrights
• Comments that are off-topic or unrelated
• Spam comments, such as the same comment posted repeatedly on a profile
• Other comments that ISDA deems inappropriate. While constructive criticism is welcome; language that is disruptive, threatening, abusive, profane, harassing, defamatory, libelous, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable as solely determined by ISDA, or contains any product or service advertisements or endorsements, or can be construed as politically lobbying will not be tolerated. Multiple successive off-topic posts or excessive postings on a particular issue by a single user (a.k.a. trolling) will also not be accepted. ISDA reserves the right to monitor, restrict, block, suspend, or discontinue your access to the ISDA social media sites at any time, with or without advanced notice. Egregious or repeated violations of the comment policy may result in the deletion of your comment, or the reporting of your account to third party site administrators. As is the case with all online media, we encourage you to protect your personal privacy and that of others by not including personal information of either yourself or of others in your posts to the wall (for example, names, email addresses, private addresses or phone numbers). ISDA does not collect formal public comments through this account, and our staff will attempt to respond to Facebook comments in a timely manner. We understand that social media is a 24/7 medium; however, our moderation capabilities are not. We may not see every inappropriate comment right away, and we are trusting in the maturity of our community to ignore personal attacks and negative speech or respond politely. If you require immediate assistance or have specific questions we encourage you to contact the ISDA Office or call 911 for emergencies. Disclaimer
