1) The only people I will refer to by name is the School Board Members, any commenters or people who talk to me who are okay with me using their name (in terms of giving credit), and maybe anyone running for School Board Director on this site. All others will be kept anonymous for privacy and I ask all commenters do the same.
2) I allow anonymous commenters to allow more people to engage in conversation. If you use the fact that you're anonymous to spew anything offensive, slanderous, libelous, sexist, racist, or anything else that is inappropriate, action will be taken against said anon, including but not limited to, banning. If these problems persist, anonymous commenting will be taken down--maybe even permanently.
3) Try not to drag partisanism into this site. I understand that political parties are a part of politics, but if you start using Republican this, Democrat that, liberal this, conservative that, you'll be taking away from what I'm trying to talk about--the School Board. Especially throwing political parties into the fold start flame wars all the time, and it's bad enough we have the Lower Providence/Worcester divide when it comes to these issues. If you guys wanna fight, you gotta do it on someone elses comments.
4) If it's public record, it's public knowledge--simple as that. Right to Know Requests are public record as well. However, if something isn't public record, please don't post it. That should be a no-brainer.
5) As a general rule, think before you comment; "would I post this with my name on it?"
