A Few E133 Reminders

This is our periodic, help us help you post. You know, season changing housekeeping stuff. Exit133 continues to grow and new people find us every day. It used to be, way back in 2005, I knew every single person that read this site. It’s not like that anymore. With that said, a quick reminder to our old timers and orientation to our new timers …

Send Tips
Do you want us to talk more about your neighborhood? Tell us what’s going on! There are only a few of us here at Exit133. We will never claim to know the entire city of Tacoma with all its nooks and crannies. We know the neighborhoods that we live in, the faces we pass, and the buildings between our home and the office. If there’s a public meeting or event you think we should attend, a story we should cover, or a business that you think we should know about, send us a tip using the contact page or via email at tips (at) exit133.com. We can’t be everywhere, but we try.

Comments
Maybe it’s the change in the weather. Maybe it’s the economy. Regardless, people seem surly right now. We’ll go six months without moderating a single comment. Then we’ll have days like yesterday where we pulled six comments.

We do and will moderate comments, but its really not something we enjoy. So we have our guidelines. We describe the comments on Exit133 as being like a discussion at a bar. If your comment would get you punched, slapped, kicked out of the bar, or otherwise offend everyone in your vicinity, it’s probably not appropriate. No personal attacks. Avoid sweeping negative generalizations. No ads. Advance the discussion.

Please remember, we ask that you provide a real email address when making comments. If we have any questions or clarification about your comment, we use it to ask you. If the email address is fake, bounces back, or you don’t respond, we reserve the right to pull it.

However, we are okay with pseudonyms. As many of you know, some of our best commenters are people who write under assumed names and have for years. If this is your gig too, use a name, own it, and take responsibility for your comments. People will get to know you and your personality. Using multiple identities is highly discouraged. Using multiple identities in one conversation is simply creepy and we do remove these comments when spotted.
