Clerk's Office Policies

Website Commenting and Social Media Posts

The Jones County Superior Court Clerk's Office operates its official website and social media accounts as limited public forums to provide information about court operations, services, and proceedings, and to encourage public engagement on related topics. This policy complies with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Article I of the Georgia Constitution, and all applicable federal and state laws. It protects citizens’ rights to free speech while allowing reasonable, viewpoint-neutral moderation to maintain a constructive, safe, and lawful environment.

 

Free Speech Commitment

​

We welcome comments expressing all viewpoints on matters within the court’s jurisdiction or directly related to a specific post. The court does not discriminate based on viewpoint, ideology, or the content of protected speech. Comments represent only the views of the individual posters and are not endorsed by the court.

 

Moderation Guidelines

​

To ensure comments serve the forum’s purpose, the court may review, edit, hide, or remove comments (before or after posting) and may restrict or block users who repeatedly violate this policy. Moderation is applied consistently and without regard to viewpoint. Comments may be moderated if they:

​

  • Are off-topic or unrelated to the specific post or court functions.

  • Constitute spam, repetitive postings, or commercial advertisements/solicitations.

  • Contain threats of violence, harassment, bullying, or intimidation directed at any individual.

  • Include profane, obscene, vulgar, or sexually explicit language.

  • Promote or incite illegal activity, or otherwise violate federal or Georgia law (e.g., copyright infringement or disclosure of confidential court information).

 

Additional Provisions

​

  • The court does not monitor these platforms in real time. For emergencies or official court business, contact the court directly through official channels.

  • Blocking a user or removing a comment does not prevent the individual from accessing public court records or participating in court proceedings.

  • This policy does not create any right to post on the court’s platforms, nor does it limit the court’s ability to disable comments entirely on any post.

  • Violations may result in temporary or permanent restrictions on commenting privileges.

 

The court reserves the right to update this policy as needed. Questions about this policy may be directed to Superior Court Clerk Pamela D. Dixon.
