Street Roots comment policy

Street Roots
by Street Roots | 1 Jan 2017

As a community resource for ideas and dialogue, Street Roots encourages people to share thoughts and opinions on its social media sites. And as such, some guidelines are necessary to ensure an engaging conversation.

Street Roots does not agree with or endorse every comment or post. Our goal is to share ideas and information with as many individuals as possible and our policy is to accept the majority of comments made to our profile.

Therefore, a comment will be deleted if it contains:

  • Hate speech, including racist, sexist and homophobic comments;
  • Excessive profanity, obscenity or vulgarity;
  • Nudity in profile pictures;
  • Defamation to a person or people;
  • Personal attacks or threats of violence;
  • Comments whose main purpose are to sell a product;
  • Other comments that the Street Roots Social Media team deems inappropriate.

Repeated violations of the Street Roots comment policy may cause the author to be blocked from the Street Roots site.

We may not see every inappropriate comment in time to remove it right away, so we trust our community to readers to ignore personal attacks and negative speech or respond politely. Please contact Street Roots if you have any questions.
