The Mendocino Voice policy on website and social media commenting:
We encourage healthy, productive debate on our website and social platforms at The Mendocino Voice.
We also strive to avoid a hostile environment and expect that our community of readers will refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior, language and speech. If you violate our guidelines, your comment may be deleted and you could be banned from commenting.
- Be considerate.
- No profanity or hate speech.
- Challenge the argument, not the person.
- Respect others and their points of view.
- Stay on topic.
- Be concise.
- Use sarcasm carefully. Tone is hard to decipher online so write to one another as though you’re discussing the issue in person.
