Policies
Comment Policy
We invite readers to post comments on the site. Out of respect for our authors and readers, we have established a policy for comments that we ask you to follow.
These are our rules:
Everyone who wishes to comment will have to submit his/her name and email. We won’t publish anonymous comments. All comments are welcome but we request you make them relevant to the posts and be respectful.
Comments will be held for moderation and will be manually approved by one of our staff. We will not approve comments that contain personal attacks or are in any way antithetical to the spirit of the site. Comments repeatedly posted or comments promoting services and products will be treated as spam.
We reserve the right to ban from commenting anyone who is violating these standards, or who we believe is disrupting the site or creating a tone or atmosphere we consider inconsistent with the site.
