Feb. 6, 2008 - Discover Columbus Comment Policy
A new tougher comment policy?
Maybe just a warning to those who want to play games. I am tired of it.
This blog is about Columbus. Have something constructive to add to a conversation? A recommendation or even a negative comment about something in Columbus? Comment. However if your comment amounts to " _______ sucks" save time, don't leave it, it is not going to be published.

Comments trashing Columbus, me, the real estate industry are not going to be posted. There is a difference between constructive comments about Central Ohio and the "Columbus Sucks" kind of comments that a couple of childish individuals have got in the habit of leaving here. In the spirit of web 2.0 some comments have been published that seemed a bit "icky" Those comments have been removed because they seem to encourage others to pile on more childish nastiness. Discover Columbus is not a forum where your childish "Columbus sucks" kind of comment has a right to freedom of speech. This is my site and your comments are not going to be published, so move along... surely there is something else you could be reading.
Comments do bear the IP address so if you are leaving them from work, know that what you have written reflects on your company. Threatening or harassing comments from a company will be forwarded to the company. Sending threatening or harassing emails from a hotmail, gmail or Yahoo address is not safe either, read their policies.
It's not going to get posted anyway... all comments here are moderated. Discover Columbus is not a controversial blog... the hot, most controversial subject on Discover Columbus? Mexican Food. I deleted a number of comments from the post that seems to attract crazies. If you are strangely drawn to debating and feel the need to trash Columbus... Columbus people, Columbus neighborhoods, an individual person, my cat (yes... it was on ColumbusBestBlog.com sicko....) step away from the keyboard. It's not going to get published, so why waste your time.
Comment spam has always and will always be deleted from Discover Columbus as well.
I'd love to hear from you if you have a comment on the topic. All comments are moderated so you will not see your comment immediately. Thanks.
