SPECIFIC TO WHATSAPP FORUM

The primary goal of the BN WhatsApp Forum is to freely and respectfully exchange thoughts and ideas, and to share and discuss news and current events to support the mission of BN and no more.

Before you post on the platform, please determine first that it will further the mission of BN.

Please keep comments respectful and be mindful of offensive language. Be on your best behavior and treat others as you’d like to be treated. You don’t have to agree with each other, but let’s all agree to respectfully disagree and move on.

While we highly honor and respect everyone’s right to exercise their freedom of speech, we don’t tolerate individuals abusing their freedom as a crux to “justify” their bad behavior or engage in activities that negate BN’ s mission.

Our moderation team consists of only a handful of people, and we’re not immediately made aware if someone violates the rules implemented. If you see someone violating our rules and regulations, please kindly bring it to our attention and provide us the user’s post, phone number, and the offense committed by the posting.
