Instructions for Posting a Comment on Your Behalf

 Effective October 1, 2013, Anthem Opinions will no longer accept comments on an "anonymous" basis, and, in order to post, YOU MUST BE A SUBSCRIBER to ANTHEM OPINIONS.

This is due to the following Nevada law that became effective on that date.

Here is the law in Nevada which we sincerely ask each and every resident to support.

NRS 116.31184  

Threats, harassment and other conduct prohibited; penalty.

      1.  A community manager, an agent or employee of the community manager, a member of the executive board, an officer, employee or agent of an association, a unit’s owner or a guest or tenant of a unit’s owner shall not willfully and without legal authority threaten, harass or otherwise engage in a course of conduct against any other person who is the community manager of his or her common-interest community or an agent or employee of that community manager, a member of the executive board of his or her association, an officer, employee or agent of his or her association, another unit’s owner in his or her common-interest community or a guest or tenant of a unit’s owner in his or her common-interest community which:

As you can see, this law now makes harassing comments toward another person a CRIMINAL OFFENSE; and as a result, those who choose to make such comments, not only subject themselves to CIVIL litigation, but as of October 1, 2013,  CRIMINAL PROSECUTION as well.

Anthem Opinions has NEVER allowed such commentary; however, at times, comments have been posted by individuals on an "anonymous" basis that have occasionally "slipped through the cracks" prior to our ability to remove them that may be considered "harassment" under this Nevada law.

As a result, we will no longer accept posts from those unwilling to provide their REAL NAME.

We will, however, accept posts via email to anthemopinions@gmail.com on a private basis, and will post them on your behalf under the following conditions:

On the email to scaopinions@gmail.com, you MUST identify yourself with a REAL NAME that we can VERIFY prior to the post.

If, in our opinion,  we find the email "offensive" or "harassing", it will NOT be posted.

We will look for every opportunity to post your comment; however, to do so, Anthem Opinions reserves the right to edit such posts to remove language we find offensive, or correct other aspects such as grammatical or spelling errors.

As our Welcome Screen indicates, our objective is to ENTERTAIN, not HUMILIATE.

...that at times we will be CONTROVERSIAL, but in a RESPECTFUL manner.

Thank you.
