Our goal at The Daily Declaration is to create a welcoming and engaging environment that promotes Christian values in the public square. We encourage open dialogue, the sharing of opinions, and respectful debate. To maintain a positive atmosphere, we have established the following commenting policy:
- Be respectful: Treat others with the same respect you would like to receive. Personal attacks, discriminatory language or harassment will not be tolerated.
- Stay on topic: Ensure your comments are relevant to the article or discussion at hand. Off-topic or spammy comments may be removed.
- No self-promotion or advertising: Please avoid posting links to your own website, products or services. Comments that are overly promotional will be removed.
- Use proper language: Offensive language, profanity and vulgar expressions are not allowed. Keep your comments clean and appropriate for all audiences.
- No illegal content: Do not post any content that is defamatory, libellous, or in violation of any laws or regulations.
- Protect your own privacy: Refrain from sharing personal information about yourself or others, such as addresses, phone numbers or email addresses.
- Be constructive: When disagreeing with others, present your arguments in a thoughtful and reasoned manner. Avoid resorting to personal insults or inflammatory comments.
- Respect others’ intellectual property: Do not post copyrighted material without proper attribution, and always give credit to the original source when quoting or referencing someone else’s work.
- Be truthful about your identity: Use only your real identity when commenting. Creating multiple accounts to pose as different people — also known as “sockpuppeting” — is deceptive and will not be tolerated.
The Daily Declaration team reserves the right to remove any comments that violate this policy. Repeated violations may result in a user being banned from commenting on the site.
By posting a comment on The Daily Declaration, you agree to abide by this commenting policy. We appreciate your cooperation in helping to create a respectful and engaging online community that highlights Christian values in the public square.
