Westwood Minute Community Conduct Guidelines

Dear Westwood Minute Community, 

Your voices are important and wonderful to hear, and you are invited to put your voice into words on this platform. Please feel free to share your news, events, and opinions on topics of interest to our community. Go ahead and post your comments and reply to what others have posted. 

Let's cooperate to keep this an open, civil platform that is welcoming to all points of view and useful to readers. Please keep in mind a few guidelines when posting articles and comments:

1. State your opinion/reply/comment respectfully.

2. Give other community members the benefit of a doubt. You deserve the same.

3. Keep comments constructive and argue the issue, rather than attack the person. Arguing against a person's position is fine, but please avoid name calling.

4. Disagreeing, taking an unpopular position, or arguing a point are NOT reasons for removal.  Westwood Minute is very reluctant to remove any comments and posts -- free speech and open debate is important, along with the practice of engaging in constructive disagreements. However, personal attacks, profanity, self-serving promotions, and discriminatory or inflammatory remarks are subject to removal.

5. Confusing posts may be removed to keep postings relevant and useful to readers, but again, the goal is to avoid removing any postings whenever possible.  Please note that free and $2 featured event listings to the Westwood Minute Calendar should be accessible to the majority of the public. Posting events with excessive entry fees may be removed and advertising suggested as an alternative.

6. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out and email WestwoodInAMinute@gmail.com.

Thanks for being part of the Westwood Minute community!
