Changes on Eye on Oshkosh site

This site is going back to a policy that was attempted on a trial basis some time ago. That is, most, if not all of the material on this site, will now be posted in such a manner that visitors will be required to register in order to comment on stories.

We recognize that site participation will likely drop as a result of this change and it is a shame that things had to come to this because a handful of people could not act like adults, but this should help prevent those kinds of problems from reoccurring. It will also help spur dialogue based on issues or elected officials' job performance, not personal attacks, libelous comments and petty, innuendo-filled remarks which have nothing to do with those things or those individuals.

Story contributions may still be done automatically by registered users or by anyone sending me something via email. If your submission is approved, it will appear on the site, but only registered users will be allowed to comment on it. This site still reserves the right to reject story submissions or deny registration and/or reject comments at any time.

This site is copyrighted. Nothing originating on this site may be reposted, republished or broadcast elsewhere. Links may be placed on other sites leading back to this site, but no reproduction or rebroadcasting of copyrighted material will be allowed unless express written permission is given for another site operator, personal blogger or other publication/medium to do so. All other trademarks and copyrights are retained by their respective authors/owners.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
