"We don’t post comments that indulge in just plain bad behavior."

Some of the comment rules for WEAU-13, an Eau Claire, WI, TV station.... I really like the one about "just plain bad behavior". We know a bunch here who wouldn't be allowed to post on that site, don't we? LOLOL

**************************************************************
The comment sections of our web set are designed for thoughtful, intelligent conversation and debate. We want to hear from our viewers but we are not obligated to post all comments. We especially will not post those we feel inappropriate or violate our guidelines. Here are some but not all of the criteria we use when posting comments:
  • Comments cannot be profane or vulgar. Children and families visit this site all the time. We will not post comments that use profanity or cross the lines of good taste.
  • We will not post comments that use hate speech. Slurs, stereotypes and violent talk aren’t welcome on our web site.
  • Comments should not attack other readers or people featured in our stories personally. Any accusations should be backed up with facts. For example we will not post a comment accusing someone of being a drug dealer or child molester if they have not been charged with that crime.
  • We don’t post comments that indulge in just plain bad behavior. We are not obligated to post comments that are just plain rude or insensitive.
  • Any comment we post will be posted in its entirety. We do not edit any comment that we post.

As a host WEAU 13 News welcomes a wide spectrum of opinions. However this is a site that we host. We have a responsibility to all our readers to try to keep our comment section fair and decent. For that reason WEAU 13 News reserves the right to not post or to remove any comment.
