WCIU Journal Comment Policy
We encourage and desire comments on the WCIU Journal and blog, and hope you will join the discussion. However, we moderate all comments before they are posted, and comments that are off-topic, selling a product, or clearly spam will be deleted. We also expect a basic level of civility; disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must, and profanity, abusive language, and personal attacks are out-of-bounds and those comments will be deleted. Commenters who regularly post mean-spirited and rude comments will be banned. The editors reserve the right to decide the terms and what comments get posted.
All comments are moderated by the editor to check for spam and will appear online within 24 hours. However, although we try our best, sometimes comments end up in our spam folder. If you do not see your comment online after 24 hours, simply contact us at beth.snodderly@wciu.edu and let us know you posted a comment so we can go and make it live. Thanks for your patience!
