Boulder Daily Camera will end online commenting

Jun. 29—Beginning Saturday, MediaNews Group — which includes Prairie Mountain Media newspapers — will no longer host comments on its websites.

We understand that comments can be a good way to discuss and debate the news and to interact with other members of the community. However, open comments, because they are difficult to moderate, sometimes become forums for spam or for abusive speech that is not in line with our desire to provide a place for a free exchange of ideas in a courteous and respectful manner. In addition, testing has shown that removing comments will improve site load times, which means less waiting and a better user experience.

As always, we're happy to hear from our readers. If you want to reach us, you can find our contact list by clicking the link at the bottom of our home page. Additionally, you may follow us on Twitter at @dailycamera or visit our Facebook page, where you can continue the conversation. And if you have an opinion you'd like to see published, you may submit a letter to https://prairiemountain.forms-db.com/view.php?id=119382 or a guest opinion to https://prairiemountain.forms-db.com/view.php?id=119726.

You can also send your feedback to us at commenting@medianewsgroup.com.

As always, thank you for making us a part of your day.
