Valley Independent Sentinel

Site Policies

It was a question asked over and over again before we launched.

“Are you going to allow anonymous comments? Are you going to allow to people to say whatever they want?”

Here is the answer:

The Valley Independent Sentinel welcomes your comments and thoughts on stories.

You know more about the Valley than we do.

It’s your community — and we hope you feel this is your Web site.

However, the conversation must remain civil.

We insist.

Hate speech, vulgar language, unsubstantiated claims, threats and personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you have a news tip, but wish to remain anonymous, please contact the editor by e-mailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) .

To comment on stories, this Web site requires a registration with a valid e-mail address.

The registration application is then reviewed by a staff member.

You are not required to use your real name as your username.

The registration information will be kept entirely private. We will not sell the list or distribute the list.

All comments will be reviewed before appearing on the site.

We reserve the right to not publish comments that violate our comment policy.

Keep in mind that IP addresses are logged when you visit Web sites.

We reserve the right to ban accounts and IP addresses of people who continually violate our comment policy.

We realize this comment policy will restrict page views.

However, we feel showing respect for your neighbors and keeping the discussions civil are more important.
