Yes, the Pol.is you’re taking part in is being manually moderated by the organisers. We do this primarily to:
Avoid harmful or hateful comments making their way in;
Prevent spam from ruining the process for the rest of the participants; and
Ensure that Ideas are shared in the best manner for Pol.is to be able to work correctly.
All of the moderated comments will appear here with a reason as to why they were intercepted. For complete transparency, we’ve produced open moderation guidelines that explain what we’re doing; you can read them here
UPDATE: Since we launched this conversation across the town a general election has been called. Therefore it is important that all statements are apolitical and about the long term future of the town.
We have added to our moderation guidelines that any statements that could be viewed as party political will be removed/ edited.
