Expressing your opinion here is for discussion only and is not a substitute for a formal statement in a public hearing process. Participation Rules:
The City of Victoria reserves the right to remove any messages or postings for any reason, including but not limited to the following:

a. Abusive, profane or insulting language

Once violated, the individual should be given a prewritten response upon violation of the disclaimer/policy of participation on our social media sites about the reason for a comment being “hidden,” and our required course of action taken – two more times, and they’re no longer allowed to post to our site. ii. If a second instance occurs, the individual once again will be given a prewritten response, more firm than the last, indicating his violation of the disclaimer/policy required to participate on our social media site, including an indication about his comments being “hidden,” and our required course of action – one more time, and they’re no longer allowed to post to our site. iii. If the same individual violates our policy a third time, the individual will be given a conclusive response indicating that his third comment is being “hidden,” and now is no longer allowed to post to our site (aka banned from participation).
