Are Talkback 16 Online comments moderated?

Comments will be self-moderated through the use of “flagging.” If a reader feels a comment is inappropriate they can “flag” it for review. Comments may be blocked automatically if offensive language is used. As always, troll-like behavior and repeated “flagging” may lead to banning.

When posting, you can choose which accounts to share to directly from Talkback 16 Online.

Reminder When Posting:

We ask that you keep the conversation as polite as possible. Remember that other people using Talkback 16 Online don’t know you personally, so don’t take their comments personally. If you don’t like what someone says and you feel you must reply, please do so tactfully. That means respond to the topic being discussed, don’t just call people names or attack them personally.

Personal attacks and ‘Troll-like’ behavior will result in account banning.

Please keep comments related to the current story.

Have fun!
