How do we define students


profanity policy - content containing profanity will be reviewed to make sure it pertains to the policy.

Notes on user-regulated comments:
Do we allow people to tag comments? There is the system that New York Times utilizes where random users are granted the power to tag comments for a day or so.
You can do flag a comment, and it will work on a threshold. After so many people have flagged a comment, it send us an alert.
We need to have something besides a user-policed commenting system.

Having someone moderate the comments with a user-policed system. We need both.
Be clear that when something happens to a comment that it is because of a comment policy.

what about vicious and malicious posts that make use of every word but are not profane? What are we to do?

Just calling someone an asshole provides no insight into the purpose of a comment.

Malicious - Malevolence, spite, etc. – we do not want people to be commenting out of all of theses.

We are looking for comments that engage with what people have said and provide new information.

need a comments monitor.
