Comment Guidelines
-
Moderation & Delay – All comments are reviewed before appearing. Please be patient.
-
Respectful Conduct – Be courteous. Defamatory, abusive, antagonistic, bullying, victim-blaming, racist, sexist, or homophobic remarks will be deleted.
-
Critique Ideas, Not People – Avoid name-calling, ad hominem attacks, or reflexive contradiction.
-
Stay Informed – Comments containing factual errors or easily searchable questions will not be approved.
-
Identity – You may use a nickname or alias, but you must provide a valid, permanent email address (never shared publicly).
-
Stay On-Topic – Do not hijack threads, repeat yourself excessively, respond line-by-line to others, or veer off-topic.
-
Comment Volume – Limit yourself to a few quality comments per post. Substance matters more than quantity.
-
Consistency – Use the same username within a thread so others know who they’re addressing.
-
Copyright & Rights – Post only material you have the right to share.
-
Substance Over Noise – Short, non-contributive posts (“Blecch,” “This sucks,” “meh”) will be deleted.
-
No Promotion – Discussion, not advertising. Relevant self-links are allowed if disclosed.
-
Writing Quality – Excessive spelling or grammar errors may result in deletion.
-
No Signatures – Use the provided name/URL fields, not the comment body.
-
Disclose Relationships – If discussing or recommending a person, project, or company you have ties to (friends, family, co-workers, employers), state it clearly.
-
Editorial Rights – We may edit or delete comments at our discretion.
Note: On rare occasions, comments are caught by our spam filter and deleted automatically. If this happens repeatedly, contact us via our tech support page.
