Jurisdiction
I enjoy interacting with you and gladly welcome your comments. To ensure that comments enhance and not detract from the blog, we’ve created this formal comment policy. Be sure to check back from time to time to see if the policy has been updated.
Comment Policy
All of this blogs comments, trackbacks, and pingbacks are moderated. That’s so that peace and order can be preserved. If you’re a registered users or a contributors and think that you ought to get some extra slack, let me know. I’m willing to consider some modification. Please don’t submit your comment more than once simply because it doesn’t appear fast enough to suit you. I try to approve them as quickly as I can, but I don’t live at my computer and sometimes I don’t get to them right away. If it hasn’t appeared within 24 hours and you’re concerned about it, send me an email query. Possession is … By posting your comments to this site you grant us the right to display/alter/use them at our discretion and forever.
Comment Moderation
Avoid the use of profanity, hate speech, threats, personal attacks, flames, etc. Defamation/plagarism are not acceptable. Different people have different levels of tolerance for different things, and I’d like as wide a variety of people to feel welcome here as is possible. You’re free to excersize you unfettered free speech on your own blog and link to it from a nicely worded comment on mine, and that way people can decide for themselves.
Language
Ideally, your comment will be less than 200 words which have been thoughtfully chosen. Whitespace and correct spelling and punctuation makes the content easier to read. Use paragraphs and dictionaries as necessary.
Length and Format
Excessive and/or inappropriate links will be removed. If you think it’s necessary to link to questionable content, please use the rel=”nofollow” attribute. All external links should include the target=”_blank” attribute. Please use proper XHTML markup: If a link is reported that returns a 404 error or points to a parked or ‘under construction’ site etc. it will be removed.
Linking
Descriptive Link Anchor Text (but brief, ie 6 words or less).
Do not include signatures in your comments. Your name is automatically hyperlinked to your site and you can provide all the detail about yourself there that you want to.
Signatures In Comments
Subscribing To Comments Via E-mail
This site reserves the right to reject comments, particularly for policy violations. In that case, an effort will be made to send an explanatory email inviting a more appropriate resubmission. Spelling and grammatical errors may (or may not) simply be edited.
Editing Comments
I don’t tolerate comment spam. I notify the ISPs/hosts of the offending domains and Internet blacklists are given the IP addresses.
