The Daily Forty-Niner says:
No one on the Daily Forty-Niner staff censors comments, although it may occasionally seem like we do. What looks like censoring is actually the result of either automatic filtering by our website service provider or temporary glitches with the provider.
Daily49er.com uses College Publisher, which provides web services to college newspapers across the country.
College Publisher has a built in feature, which can only be changed on their side and not by any Forty-Niner staff member, that automatically filters comments and withholds from publication any containing profanity or web links. In order to ensure that all of these were to be made public, an editor would have to go through each and every comment to check if it is has been withheld from publication and OK it to go onto the site.
If any readers post comments that do not get published on the article page, they should try to post them a second time without any profanity or web links and see if they then appear on the page. If anyone feels that their comment(s) have been improperly withheld, we encourage them to send an e-mail with a description of what occurred to onlined49er@gmail.com
Additionally, College Publisher occasionally glitches and wipes all comments that have been posted during a certain period of time from daily49er.com. While this may seem like censorship, it is really just a temporary glitch that is not in any way caused by our staff. So far, the comments that have been wiped from the site have reappeared on daily49er.com. This has been a recent phenomenon, and our staff will be bringing it up with the service provider.
