Some readers submit comments that violate one or more of our guidelines. These comments are deleted. To avoid this, please carefully read and follow the guidelines below:
No personal attacks, excessive criticism or sarcasm, or comments meant to solely provoke — meaning comments that are both personal and unfriendly toward individuals and/or groups. Do not call another commenter a offensive name, tell someone to “get a life,” mock someone, or express a desire to hurt an individual. Personal attacks against BYU-Pathway personnel will not be tolerated.
No obscenity, vulgarity, profanity, or implied profanity, acronyms that are shorthand for profanities, name-calling, epithets, or racial slurs. Occasionally a user will attempt to use symbol swearing (using #*$) in place of profanity. The best comments make a clear point without using intended or implied crude language.
No ALL CAPS shouting, overuse of punctuation or short “ditto” comments.
Comments that make assumptions or comments containing information not included in the story are generally discouraged, especially in cases of hardship or tragedy. If you have information that you feel is critical to a story, please contact communications-pw@byupathway.org.
Be sensitive in comments about death and injury, especially in stories that involve children.
Off-topic comments will be deleted. Comments must tie directly to the associated article. This is especially true on sensitive topics.
Links to outside URLs are discouraged. Comments with email addresses, links to personal blogs, websites or Facebook accounts also are discouraged. BYU-Pathway does not endorse the content of external websites and has no liability as to their content in any event. We reserve the right to remove any external link.
We want to hear YOUR opinion. Your comment must be created and owned by you. If you copy and paste from another source, please give proper attribution. Posting copyrighted material is not permitted.
Commercial promotion or solicitation is not allowed.
Please do not submit charity donation information (as in the case of individual tragedies).
