13 On Your Side

Welcome! Those who join our Facebook community will find posts not only about local news, but also national and international news. Code of conduct:

1.

The 13 ON YOUR SIDE (WZZM) page is the place where we will share our stories, take you inside the Information Center at 13OYS and out with us into the community as we cover Michigan and the nation. We thank you for electing to join the chorus of diverse voices on our page, and we welcome and encourage comments and conversations among you, our Community Members. We truly want you to be a p

art of our Community where you can come for information, share your story ideas and ask us questions. All we ask in return is that all communications and posts remain civil and appropriate. Please respect the community by carefully considering the content of your posts, the language and/or images you choose in your comments or replies to the comments of others. While we cherish and encourage a healthy debate and the exercise of our freedom of speech, anything we at 13 ON YOUR SIDE determine to be disrespectful or abusive, such as language, hateful rhetoric, inappropriate pictures or video or spam, will be deleted. We define spam as posts with links that could cause harm to the person who click on it, such as link that allows a hack of a Facebook account. To address this concern, no links are allowed in comments or replies to comments on our page posts. Links are allowed on the wall. Spam is also blatant advertisements for products that have nothing to do with our community, our community members, topics posted on our wall or comments. Your comments are part of our collective dialogue. Advertisements or repeat posts constitute spam and will be removed in accordance with these rules.
13 ON YOUR SIDE uses page Moderation and Profanity Filter to help moderate the page. Page moderation hides comments from the public. The comments remain visible and accessible to the person who submitted the comments and his or her friends. We also maintain the consequent right to block any person or organization that is continually disruptive to our community. While we invite you to participate and to share, the opinions and comments that you or others share belong solely to the person posting, and do not reflect either the opinions or beliefs of 13OYS or the Networks of 13OYS. We reserve the right to use any pictures, comments, wall posts, links, video, etc. shared with us here on Facebook on other platforms such as in a news broadcast or online. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us. We may choose to answer you in a private message rather than a post on our wall or reply to a comment. Participating in social engagement on WZZM/13 ON YOUR SIDE’s page is a privilege, not a right. Failure to follow our code of conduct can result in the immediate removal of your commenting privileges. Be civil and respectful. Do not attack or threaten other commenters or make defamatory statements. You are allowed to express opposing views, but you must be respectful when you do so. Report abusive comments to [email protected] with a link to the offending comment.
2. Keep comments on topic.
3. Clean language. Do not use obscene, indecent or profane language or imagery.
4. Do not post promotions or endorsements of services or products. Do not spam the comment section with repetitive posts.
