Hey there liQcity readers. There comes a time in all blogs (maybe) where the blogger has to make some decisions about editing comments. In general, I’m opposed to editing comments as I believe in free speech yada yada yada. However, in a circumstance such as a neighborhood blog where the community is very small-town like, and the real estate community even smaller - there are other factors to consider. Thereby, liQcity is crafting an editorial policy which shall soon be posted. In the meantime, please refer to the following:

liQcity will not pre-screen comments. All comments posted will display live immediately. liQcity will remove comments that are blatantly homophobic, racist or personally attack a LIC community member by name (or clear description). All other comments are welcome and appreciated, cranky or happy. We seem to have some happy hipsters and even happier yuppies commenting on the site, so bring it.

As a side note, liQcity welcomes dissent as it is a critical component of what we hold near and dear to our hearts(?) in the democratic(?) process. Dissent away.

Dear liQcity readers,

If you’re noticing that comments are occasionally randomly being deleted, it’s because we’re manually deleting spam, and occasionally a real comment gets accidentally erased.

Spam sucks. It’s insidious. Terrible. Truly a virus. And it’s actually All Your Fault, liQcity readers, that we’re being bombarded with it now. When the blog launched six months ago, we truly thought we’d be talking to virtually no one for at least that long. But of course, we underestimated the fervor of LIC residents, and the diabolical power of Curbed.

So, »
