Tucson, Arizona | Published: 12.11.2006
All reader comments have been removed from a few stories today (Dec. 11).
The Star created the comments feature to give readers a place to
exchange ideas and information that would make us all smarter and
build community. We hoped for tough but respectful debate. We posted
guidelines prohibiting certain kinds of comments, but for the most
part, we stayed out of the way and let readers speak.
In the past month, though, more and more comments are violating our
standards. Instead of offering constructive criticism, too many posts
are just plain coarse.
While we created the reader comments feature to give readers a place
to talk, StarNet is still our house. And our editors and staff simply
do not want guests who make vulgar, abusive, obscene, defamatory and
hateful comments. If you want to live in that kind of neighborhood,
go create your own online forum.
Meanwhile, we've removed large chunks of comments today while we
consider the future of the reader comments feature.
— Bobbie Jo Buel, executive editor
