Re: BHS student overcomes odds to graduate tonight

I asked him that, but didn't include it because the article was already really long. He said that he chose to go to BHS "because it's a good school. I could go to Rainier Beach or something, but I wanted a more formal education."

We do not accept payment for "advertorials." The content on the home page is written because we feel it's good community information. Oftentimes that information is about fellow Ballardites, Ballard businesses and Ballard events.

We wrote about the Ballard FitnessFest earlier this year and this is a follow-up piece focused on an inspirational couple in our neighborhood.

As msballard30 mentioned, we wrote about the Ballard FitnessFest in 2010. We plan to cover it again in 2012 if it continues.

Re: ‘Only in Ballard’ campaign launches

Geeky Swedes — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:48:38 -0000

We deleted a series of comments from a single user -- posted minutes apart -- who was changing his/her name with each additional comment, which is a violation of our comment rules (misrepresentation and "do not hijack a comment thread.")

http://www.myballard.com/co...

This has happened several times in the past with the same user, who is also using advanced techniques to rotate IP addresses, etc., to avoid detection.

Anyone who has read My Ballard knows that we don't systematically censor anything, and in contrast, the vast majority of feedback we receive is to be more strict about comments that push the edge of our civility rules.

Thank you for your understanding, and if you ever have questions/concerns, please email us at tips@myballard.com.
