Social media comments policy

The purpose of this site is to present matters of public interest related to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and to provide a forum for discussion that is inclusive, social, and constructive. We encourage you to submit your questions, comments, and concerns, but please note that this is a moderated online discussion site and not a public forum. In general: keep your comments civil, keep them on topic, and refrain from profanity, vulgarity, slurs, or purely personal attacks.

User conduct

We will limit the content on this site — including in the comments section — to the topics we post about, and we reserve the right to control the topical scope of posts we make to the site. In general, the content posted here will be limited to matters related to CMAP.

CMAP deals with a broad, but not limitless, array of issues. Things that do not relate to the business of CMAP, and which we reserve the right to delete, include the following:

  • Profane/personal: Comments containing material that is profane, obscene, pornographic, or material of a purely insulting nature that is directed at a particular individual. CMAP’s business relates to the public at large, and comments should reflect matters of public concern, not matters that are personal or private in nature.
  • Discriminatory: CMAP is not in the business of discriminating on the basis of race, national origin, religion, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation, and comments of such a nature will be removed.
  • Threats/safety: We will remove threats to the safety of others, whether directed at an individual or to the public at large. Such threats include inciting imminent lawless action, fighting words, and true threats.
  • Political: CMAP is not in the business of campaigning, politicking, or electioneering, and such content will be removed.
  • Commercial advertising: Solicitations or commercial advertisements (i.e., content that advertises a product or service) will be removed.
  • Illegality: Material promoting or providing instructional information about illegal activities will be removed.
  • Intellectual property: Content that infringes the intellectual property rights of others (such as their patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, etc.) will be removed.

 

Please contact CMAP at info@cmap.illinois.gov with any questions or issues.
