SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTING POLICY

Please note that comments posted on any BCRP social media site do not reflect the opinions and position of BCRP or its officers or members.

The Bastrop County Republican Party (BCRP) shares notices via social media to reach a broader audience and so that those interested can also share our information. We encourage you to submit your comments, questions or concerns, but please note this is a moderated online discussion site and not a public forum.


BCRP’s contractual obligations with our social media platforms require it to enforce their policies with regard to posted comments. The guidelines below are, in part, BCRP’s effort to comply with those obligations.


Basically, be courteous, respectful and relevant. Remember that your comments may be read by persons of any age and reflect on the commentor.


For those who like more detail, we’ve established the following guidelines, which apply to all our social media channels. If your post violates them, it will be removed.


Once posted, BCRP reserves the right to delete submissions that contain:

  • vulgar language;
  • personal attacks of any kind;
  • offensive comments that target or disparage any federally protected class.

Further, BCRP also reserves the right to delete comments that:

  • are spam or include links to other sites;
  • are clearly off topic;
  • include identical or repeated comments;
  • are from people or accounts whose publicly visible profile includes a location outside the State of Texas or no location at all;
  • contain sexual content or links to sexual content;
  • advocate illegal activity;
  • promote particular services, products, organizations, Republican political candidates in a primary or runoff election, or non-Republican candidates in a general election;
  • infringe on copyrights or trademarks;
  • have the potential to compromise the safety or security of the public or public systems;
  • are made by persons identifiably under the age of 13;
  • contain personally identifiable medical information; or
  • contain personal personally identifiable information (PII) such as email addresses, social security numbers, phone numbers or any other information for which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Further, BCRP also reserves the right to shut off comments at any time when a platform or channel allows.

Users who violate this policy may be banned from future commenting or blocked from the social site where the violation occurred.
