<p>Dear readers, <br /><br />A major strength of www.deccanherald.com is the enthusiastic comments it draws from you. We enjoy being part of this growing community.<br /><br />We have also deliberately kept this platform open, so that the comments you post show up immediately on the web site. We proudly state that a lot of comments come from readers, who are sensitive and well informed. <br /> <br /> But unfortunately, as you know, there are a few misfits, who have been posting comments in bad taste. There are abuses on caste, religious and personal grounds, which we cannot allow. <br /> <br /> We are a newspaper, known for our commitment to public interest. We cannot become a platform for juvenile and vicious outrage. If there is a comment you cannot make before your family members, you cannot make it here. That, in a nut shell, is our comments policy. <br /> <br /> To ensure quality discussion and eliminate abuse we have introduced a new comment tool, Disqus. Registration is easy but mandatory, though you can also log in using your Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Open IDs. <br /> <br /> Disqus is a powerful tool, which helps us to block comments, which violate our policy easily. We can also now block site access to compulsive abusers. We count on your encouragement. <br /> <br /> With regards, <br /> Editor </p>
