Biz Buzz is the online companion to the Daily Journal’s Business & Money section, so it inherently has an expected level of decorum. We are here to discuss business in Northeast Mississippi, and we want your participation.
Think of this as our office. It’s not an uptight office, but we expect a level of professionalism. If your comments aren’t fit for the eyes and ears of our bosses (who read this blog), don’t post them here.
Here’s how you play nice on Biz Buzz:
• If you are involved in a story or a post we write about, we encourage you to comment. However, we believe in full disclosure. If you have a vested interested in the company or the project, you need to tell the community about it.
Example: We write a post about Burger King building a new location in Tupelo. You post a comment about how awful Burger King is and that you once found a finger in your French fries. This comment is fine and dandy if you are a regular customer, but turns out you are the manager at a McDonald’s location in town. Because of your vested interest in the fast food industry, you need to tell the community that you are a manager at a McDonald’s in town.
• Don’t post comments that are threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, racist, profane, indecent or otherwise objectionable. Also, steer clear of posting comments that degrade others on the basis of gender, race, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability.
• Don’t spam us. We will delete – and ban – you.
• We encourage heated debate and asking questions, but if you veer off topic to the detriment of Biz Buzz, we reserve the right to delete comments at our discretion.
If as a user, you see a comment or a post that you find offensive or violates these rules, contact us at dennis.seid@djournal.com or carlie.kollath@djournal.com. We reserve the right to delete any comments and block any user that violates these rules.
