Rules for commenting

By commenting on this blog, you agree to be bound by these rules. Violations could result in a loss of commenting privileges. Minor violations will merit a warning and/or deletion of your comments. When in doubt, rely on common sense and good manners.

  1. Be respectful of other commenters. It’s fine to disagree, but personal attacks, insults and name-calling are not allowed.
  2. Stay on-topic. Try not to disrupt the flow of a thread when you can help it.
  3. Spam or advertising comments will be removed. If there is an event or site you would like to promote, please email the admins with your request.
  4. Repetitive posts will be treated as spam and deleted. If you comment a few times and no one replies, don’t badger, bait or re-post. Move on.
  5. Keep speculation to a minimum. You stay credible when you stick to the facts.
  6. Back up any assertions with a link to your source of information.
  7. Keep profanity to a minimum.
  8. Refrain from making sexual or obscene comments.
