The Hur Herald has disabled the NEWS TIP SUBMISSION link we have used for 25 years.

It has been a difficult decision.

The anonymous link had become a platform for readers to make threats and rail about their political beliefs, wide spread profanity with name calling, links to sell stuff and multiple viruses to hack the Herald, inserting porn links into stories.

It has been a time when social media rules the mind, where users now occupy their time to be their own writer, editor and publisher, which we once believed is a good thing.

With the co The Herald received a "news tip" that "We're going to take you down," while others made death threats, after which several thousand readers could not get on the site, cutting access for lots of readers.

It has been a trying time.
