As McMaster University’s student-led newspaper, The Silhouette is committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment — both in print and online.
We welcome thoughtful dialogue and encourage our readers to engage with our content. However, we do not tolerate:
🚫 Hate speech
🚫 Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or xenophobia
🚫 Harassment or personal attacks
🚫 Threats, doxxing, or incitement to violence
🚫 Misinformation or conspiracy content
Comments or messages that include any of the above will be removed. Users may be blocked or reported at our discretion.
Comments on our website may be moderated or disabled if the discussion becomes harmful. Our editorial team reserves the right to remove any comment without notice.
We encourage respectful, constructive conversation on all our platforms. Please:
For corrections, concerns, or questions, please DM us or email us at [email protected]
We’re happy to clarify or update information where appropriate.
In the case of a major issue, all official responses will come from the Silhouette Editorial Board. Please avoid tagging individual staff members — our team is made up of students who deserve to feel safe online.
Thank you for helping us maintain a space where McMaster students can share stories, ideas, and experiences safely and respectfully.
