What with our Millionth Comment Countdown™ in full swing, we thought it a good opportunity to review our current Use Policy Agreement. Not that we’re necessarily going to be allowing what we currently disallow in comments, but we’d like to get your ideas and feedback on our rules of the commenting road. We’d like to create a simplified version that can be quickly read and easily understood.

Our overarching goal is, as always, to do everything we can to foster the best and most civil conversation we can, encompassing the greatest variety of points of view. What can we do to meet that goal, and what can users themselves do? And how can we best codify that into a new use policy agreement?

Here’s our existing Use Policy Agreement, for those who might not have read it recently.

We’re quite open to hearing suggestions from other sites, your own ideas, etc. Leave your ideas in the comments space below.
