Watching the View Updates
I have updated the comment policy for Watching the View. Please read the new version here: Watching the View comment policy. A link to the policy also appears in the sidebar should you wish to refer to it in the future. Violations of the policy will not be tolerated. Although I do not like to remove people from the site, I won’t hesitate to do so if I deem it necessary.
As of today, I will no longer be providing off-topic threads for comment posting. What I started as a service for those of you who wanted to post about the election and other non-View related topics has become something that I do not feel comfortable having associated with this site. While the vast majority of you use the thread for a positive exchange of information, the thread has also become fraught with negativity that is just not acceptable.
Of course everyone is encouraged to comment on the on-topic threads, provided you stay on topic (anything about The View or the issues talked about on the show is fair game) and follow the other comment policy rules.
I understand that this move will cause me to lose readers, as several of you have little interest in talking about The View, but I feel I have to do what I feel is right for the site and my community here. I value my readers too much to sacrifice what I believe in for the sake of higher page views.
If you want to communicate with people off the site, I am happy to pass your e-mail address on to any other poster that you would like. Of course I will never give your e-mail address to anyone without your permission.
If you have any questions about what I have written here today please e-mail me at winnieblogs at gmail.com (change at to @ and remove the spaces)
