The following guidelines address what belongs in a civic forum and comment submissions will be moderated based on the following comment policy:
- Stay on topic. Comments and/or links to outside websites/sources should relate to the topic being discussed in the original post.
- Keep it clean. Comments should not contain profanity, racial slurs or any other derogatory terms.
- Personal attacks are taboo. Comments should not contain personal or defamatory remarks or attacks.
- Agree to disagree. Reasonable arguments for opposing views are encouraged. A posted comment is the opinion of the poster only. Publication of the comment does not imply endorsement or agreement by the author of the blog or the City of Decatur.
- Campaigning belongs elsewhere. This blog is not the place to endorse candidates or a particular stance on currently active ballot measures.
- This comment policy may be revised at any time.
- Comment submissions that repeatedly violate this policy may be prohibited.
- Submission of a comment constitutes acceptance of this comment policy.
If you have questions or comments about this policy, email blogpolicy@decaturga.com.
