Comment Policy

We welcome constructive comments and allow any that meet our common sense criteria. This means being respectful and polite to others. It means providing helpful information that contributes to a story or discussion. It means leaving links only that substantially add further to a discussion. Comments using foul language, being disrespectful to others, or otherwise violating what we believe are common sense standards of discussion will be deleted.

Comments will be accepted and published if they meet the following requirements:

  1. The comment is not spam.
  2. The comment is not left solely to drive traffic elsewhere.
  3. The comment is not widely off-topic.
  4. The comment is not obscene or profane.
  5. The commenter has left a real name or proper screen name. (“Cheap Purses” and “MyCellPhoneTips” are not real names).
  6. We do use a broad list of moderation keywords, but if your comment is held for moderation and abides by our comment policy, it will be accepted shortly.

By submitting a comment here, you agree to the above comment policy and grant this site a perpetual licence to reproduce your words and name/website in attribution.
