This site is a limited public forum. In order to promote City goals articulated herein and remain in compliance with applicable law, as limited public forums, this site is moderated by the City of Centennial (“we,” “our”) with support from Social Pinpoint and our agents. We moderate the site in order to create a productive and safe environment where people can engage with the project or each other without feeling intimidated.
The site uses either a (a) post-moderation tool where all content submitted by users on our site is immediately published and then reviewed by our moderators to ensure it complies with this Moderation Policy or (b) pre-moderation tool where all content must be approved by our moderators before appearing on the site.
In the first case, the user’s content is immediately posted on the site and then reviewed by the moderators. If the City or Social Pinpoint finds that the content violates the Moderation Policies, the user’s content will be rejected and the user may be notified via email. We reserve the right to edit or remove any content in our sole discretion that has been posted on our site.
In some cases, you may notice that your submitted content that was once posted no longer appears on the site. The content is only temporarily removed until the City or Social Pinpoint has reviewed it to ensure it complies with the Moderation Policy. If your content has been rejected, you may be notified via email from the City or Social Pinpoint.
With the pre-moderation tool, moderators must review and approve the user’s content before it is posted onto the site. This may mean the user’s content does not immediately appear on the site.
You must also agree to the Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy before using our site.
User submissions may be publicly visible and may be subject to disclosure under the Colorado Open Records Act.
Think positively about your participation. This is an opportunity for you to input your ideas and contribute to the project.
