Moderation Policy

This is a discussion venue for the AVMA, members of the veterinary profession and members of the general public interested in veterinary medicine and animal health. While this is an open forum and we welcome discussion, it's also a family-friendly one, so please keep your comments and wall posts clean. In addition to keeping it family friendly, we ask that you respect the Facebo

ok terms of use (http://www.facebook.com/terms.php). While it is our intention to never ban individuals from our page, if content violates our policy, we reserve the right to remove that content and may block the offending user. The following types of posts may be removed, and the offending user may be given a warning or may be banned, depending on the severity of the offense:
1) Personal attacks;
2) Graphic, obscene, explicit or racial comments;
3) Spam, solicitations and advertisements. This includes requests to vote in a contest so the poster will win something, or solicitations for monetary contributions. Requests to sign petitions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, and we reserve the right to remove the posts. This also includes "lost pet" posts (we hope you get your pet back, but our page isn't a clearinghouse of lost pet posts) and the "sign up for our webinar" posts (again, we don't want to become an advertising platform and clearinghouse for webinar solicitations);
4) “Bumping” content by repeatedly bringing existing or past issues to the top of the wall;
5) Posts that are blatantly off-topic. Please disclose your relationship (employee, owner, etc.), if any, with any companies you are promoting or mentioning in your post. Our sharing of links, images or videos provided/maintained by others does not constitute endorsement: the AVMA does not endorse products or companies. This forum is not intended for providing diagnosis or treatment recommendations regarding animal health problems. An online resource is not a substitute for veterinary examination, and online interaction is not a valid Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR).
