Comment Section Moderation Policy

We welcome and appreciate our regular commenters on The Dallas Express – you help us create and sustain a healthy dialogue between engaged readers.

We believe robust and vigorous debate is a civic virtue benefiting our readers and our reporters alike. We believe that censoring speech is a disservice to our readership and the greater public. Content is too often over-moderated, and that leads to stifled debate and even broad viewpoint suppression.

To foster an open and productive environment for all users on our site, we ask that our users:

  1. Refrain from name-calling and personal insults
  2. Make comments referring to the topic at hand in any given article

The Dallas Express reserves the right to remove any content. To avoid having a comment removed, please refrain from including:

  1. Explicit or profane language
  2. Racial, ethnic, or other slurs
  3. Advertising links or spam content
  4. Pornographic content or sexual harassment of other Users. 
  5. Personal Identifying Information (addresses, phone numbers, etc.) of site users 
  6. Personal Identifying Information (addresses, phone numbers, etc.) of subjects featured in our stories

The Dallas Express retains the right to moderate all content on our site. If you believe a comment was removed inappropriately, let us know at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to engage with you on the item.
