Comments policy – Fighting Comment Spam

Along with traffic, comes spam. Since there’s been a surge in spam comments lately, I’ve added a few guidelines for comment posting in the About this Blog section to help maintain a healthy atmosphere within the blog and protect those of us who enjoy having mature, constructive and decent conversations.

Here’s they are, in case you don’t feel like using your index finger:

Foul language is out of the question. Irony is tolerated and often welcome but stay within acceptable boundaries. Personal attacks on my persona or any other member/reader of this blog will result on a permanent ban.

I highly encourage you to use a name and not ‘keyword’ spam for the name field in the comments. The blog reserves the right to remove the linked URL if your ‘name’ consists of merely keywords and might even mark your comments as spam, even if your comments are valid and add value to the discussion. Your friends at the pub do not call you ‘free college loans’ either.
