COMMENTING ON STORIES

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) .

As of Aug. 8, 2011 we require that you must have a Facebook account to post comments on stories.

We use Facebook in an effort to compel readers to use their real names when posting.

If you don’t have a Facebook account, click here to get one.

All comments will be reviewed before appearing on the site.

We will not comments that violate our comment policy.
