Comment Policy
Welcome to our coffee house. We’d like for you to enjoy intelligent discussion over important issues here, but first we’d like to ask you to take your shoes off. We have some simple rules designed to create an environment where fruitful interaction is possible:
- We consider this blog our virtual living room. Take your shoes off and be respectful.
- Criticism of a person’s character as a substitute for dealing with the positions they maintain is not allowed.
- Use of the pejorative term “anti-Mormon” is not allowed. Comments that include the term will at the very least be filtered by our profanity filter and the comment may be entirely deleted.
- Off-topic comments may be deleted. Entire discussions may be extensively filtered to prevent future readers of the thread from having to sift through comments not closely related to the original topic.
- Avoid back-to-back comments.
- You will be allowed a maximum of three comments per day. The purpose of this is to encourage a kind of dialog where more people can participate without feeling overwhelmed by a dominant few.
- Each comment is limited to 2000 characters (your browser will alert you if you’ve gone over the limit and trim your text).
- Unless permission is otherwise granted by a moderator, links or references to Mormon apologetic material must be accompanied by a satisfactory summary (in your own words) of the key arguments made.
- Always respond first and forthrightly to direct questions personally asked of you by a moderator.
Comments that do not conform to our policy may be deleted or edited at the moderators’ discretion.
In addition, those who regularly cross the line may receive a moratorium from Mormon Coffee, a cooling-off period for a length of time wherein their comments will not be posted.
Repeat offenders may be excluded entirely from Mormon Coffee.
Thank you to all who contribute to the discussions here. Please help us to maintain a Christ-honoring presence on the internet.
