The Obama campaign seems to take good manners quite seriously throughout. Here’s the policy for the many thousands of comments on change.gov:
* Know the comment policy - Change.gov’s comment policy has four components that serve as guidelines for those interested in posting comments: stay focused, be respectful, tell the truth, no spam.
* Set up an account - Setting up an account helps build community around the discussions and allows you to rate other people’s comments.
* Rate other comments - Participants can rate comments only after setting up an account. Comments can be rated by using the “thumbs-up/thumbs-down” buttons or responding directly to comments with the participant’s own thoughts.
* Post a comment - Comments can be left by entering information in the text field at the top of the discussion. Participants can also respond directly to another user by using the “post reply” button at the bottom of the comments.
* Stay on topic - Posting comments related to particular topics or questions posed benefits the community.
