Site Comment Moderation Changed

Three articles were removed from Blue Hill Today due to questionable comments. Moderator's initially attempted to remove the comments in question, however, initial comment moderation settings did not allow for removal of just comments that had already been posted o the entire articles were removed. The site, Blogger, apparently will allow for comments to be screened and accepted or rejected by moderators prior to posting or posted directly without moderation. As far as we can see, there is no method for allowing comments to be posted without review and then pulled at a later point if they are deemed inappropriate. With our sincerest appologies, comment moderation settings have been changed. Comments will now be reviewed prior to posting. If you are an avid Blogger and have suggestions for a better way to moderate comments, please share. Again, it is the policy of Blue Hill Today to only moderate comments for vulgarity. This can be vulgar language, vulgar descriptions, or vulgar inuendos. The use of symbols to replace letters is also not appropriate even if quoting another individual. Symbols replacing letters does change the fact that you are still presenting a vulgar concept.

Quoting former United States President Ronald Reagan "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

I hope that further comments can be on the issues and not on the personalities of the individuals involved. Discussion of the topics is a good thing. Too bad some people couldn't leave it at that.
