I'll provide an updated link whenever I +update the policy. + +The text was lifted from Captain Awkward's site policy at the URL +http://captainawkward.com/site-policies-and-faqs/ on Oct 19, 2015, and +then modified (significantly) from there. + +I'm open to suggestions for additions and removals; please post them +in comments. However, this set of policies stands until I change them - +thanks for abiding by them! + +Copyright Notice +---------------- + +I own the copyright to all of my writing. Guest bloggers retain their +own copyright. Quote all of us freely! Link & attribute always! + +Questions +--------- + +By posting your comments to the blog you are granting me the right, in +perpetuity, to use, quote, alter, and/or display those questions and +comments however I see fit both for commercial and non-commercial +distribution. If this concerns you, use a pseudonym and remove +identifying details before you send, or simply post a link to your +own blog. + +I do not share your personal email address or identity, with one +exception: People who threaten or harass me or other posters will have +their names, emails, and IP addresses shared with their internet +service providers and, if necessary, law enforcement. + +Comments Policy +--------------- + +We moderate things in these here parts. Not every point of view +deserves to be heard. Unmoderated spaces tend to be full of assholes. + +Anonymous posting is allowed. Using a consistent identity is encouraged. + +Your comments will theoretically show up immediately, though the spam +filter may eat legitimate comments, even by regular posters. Alert me +via e-mail at t@idyll.org if one of your comments doesn't appear. + +Of course, sometimes comments don't show up because I delete +them. This is a dictatorship, and I can delete any comment at any time +for any reason, and I have no time for rules lawyers. There may not be +a warning or explanation of why your comment was deleted. + +A non-comprehensive list of some common reasons comments are deleted: + +- You're derailing a thread. + +- The discussion has become uncivil and has devolved into personal + insults, threats, advocating violence, or turned into a pile-on. + +- Sarcasm, curse words, gentle mocking, criticism and vehement + disagreement are generally allowed, as long as the overall spirit is + constructive and in good faith. + +- You're otherwise being useless, uninformative, or destructive. + +Having your comment deleted or being asked to stop commenting in a +particular thread or to move on from a topic of discussion is IN NO +WAY an invitation for you to send me lengthy emails detailing your +thoughts. If I wanted to read Your Thoughts I would have let you keep +posting them. + +You can always reach me at t@idyll.org or on Twitter at @ctitusbrown. + +--titus From 3908cece4eaff9c9c638294700a0a562730a1192 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "C.
