5. Why hasn’t a post been deleted?
i) TLC is not monitored 24/7
Although we try our best, this group isn’t monitored 24/7. As our group continues to grow we most certainly try our best to delete all posts that don’t meet the above guidelines including advertisements, events and negative posts. If you see a post before we get to it and believe it does not meet our group guidelines, we welcome you to report the post using Facebook’s reporting feature and we will take it from there :)
ii) TLC Business Divas
TLC has a membership plan that allows official partners, collaborators and sponsors to post advertisements and promote with our permission. If you’re open to collaborating, cross-promoting, and partnership with TLC, we’d love to chat! To learn more, head to our membership page on our website here.
6. Last but not least….
i) Use of photos - TLC reserves the right to publish photos taken by ourselves and members at our TLC run events for use on our social media, website and for press and promotional purposes. If you do not wish to be in an photo that may be used for any of the above purposes, we suggest try your best to step out of the photo or ask the photographer not to share the photo with our group and/or TLC team. If you see a photo that has been taken and used without your knowledge and would like to request its removal, please let us know by emailing our team
ii) Use of comments - TLC reserves the right to republish all submitted comments on our Facebook group and page.

iii) Medical advice, legal advice, and the like - When it comes to advice in the areas indicated, we suggest you speak to a professional relevant to your inquiry. As you can see, TLC’s Facebook community is comprised of user-generated content. Members indemnify TLC from harm in relation to their use of the TLC platform. Each member uses information obtained from the TLC Facebook community at their own risk. TLC does not endorse the comments/information provided by any third party. The only exception? Asking for advice and a recommendation for a great medical/healthcare/legal professional is totally ok, feel free to ask away!
iv) Public information – It’s sometimes easy to forget that all content posted is public…even in our lovely community! So we encourage you to pretty please refrain from posting confidential personal information (i.e. bank information, address, phone number) and give us a heads up if you see anything like this posted.
