A Gentle Reminder Of Comment Etiquette

August 10, 2010 Posted By: Trevor Wilson Category: Site Admin


Hi everyone,

Over the past few days I’ve had a series of comments (left on a variety of posts) which have contained offensive material of one form or another. And while I don’t want to get into an argument about censorship or free speech (or the specifics of these comments), I do want to strive to keep this site as family-friendly as possible.

And while I welcome all forms of comments, questions, and opinions which foster further debate and discussion, I’m going to implement stronger moderation policies starting today to ensure that no one is offended.

This means that comments which include any of the following material will not be posted:

  • Hate speech (of any form)
  • Threats or harassment
  • Excessive “bad language”
  • Product Solicitations
  • Material Under Copyright (unless you own the copyright)
  • All forms of spam

Obviously, I reserve the right to modify the rules any time. But rest assured, if you stay within the spirit of the list, you won’t have a problem.

Thanks for understanding,

~ Trevor

    My rule is to engage in the conversation — and I own the site, so will do with it what I need. They are not mutually exclusive; plenty of people disagree with me. It’s when they get into a different reality that bad things start to happen.

    Glad you are doing this — and these are perfectly sensible policies.

  2. Thanks for the support!
