Thank you for joining the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette community on Facebook! We want to provide a forum where you can share constructive and on-topic commentary that encourages a thoughtful, open and lively exchange of ideas and information and improves the quality of our coverage.

To maintain a civil and respectful conversation, we will not permit personal attacks, vulgarity, profanity, ethnic or racial slurs; language that is threatening, harassing or encourages illegal or criminal acts; or solicitations or advertisements for any purpose.

We reserve the right to moderate the discussion on our wall to the best of our ability and delete posts that violate our guide to commenting. Contributors who repeatedly violate our guidelines or post spam on our wall will be blocked as users.

We also are modifying our posting policy. Fans still will be able to comment on the posts made by administrators of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Facebook page and share our content on their walls. However, individuals and entities no longer can post their own content to our Facebook wall or cross-post their content by ‘tagging’ Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in their posts.
