About 80AcresOnline<\/a> .<\/p>\nAt present, readers can comment without registration. That may change at any time if comments become a problem.<\/p>\n
The first comment from any source does not appear on the site until\u00a0 it\u2019s been approved. Most pending comments will be cleared within 48 hours, holidays excepted. (Moderator has a life, quite full.)<\/p>\n
Comments that look like spam will be reported as spam. Future comments from that source will be assumed spam and sent to the spam bucket.\u00a0\u00a0 [addendum: If Akismet puts your comment in the spam bucket it will be deleted unread, automatically.\u00a0 Life is too short to go hunting through the spam bucket.]<\/p>\n
Comments that contain inappropriate titles, topics, or language will be deleted without notice. If a first comment is deleted, the next from that source will also go to moderation before appearing on the site.<\/p>\n
Titles: Comments don\u2019t need titles; if used, titles should not look like spam\u2013sex, money, politics and nonspecific greetings (\u201dHi\u201d) lend a spam-like look and may get your comment deleted or reported as spam. If you want to use a title, make it appropriate to the topic-range of this blog.<\/p>\n
Topics: Since topic drift is a constant of the \u2018net-verse, moderator may let a conversation drift in hopes that it will drift back, usually with a reminder that this blog has a narrower channel than others, but eventually (and sooner in some cases) off-topic posts will be deleted. It\u2019s non-negotiable.<\/p>\n
Language: Verbal abuse and profanity are inappropriate here. Disagreement is OK; abuse and harassment are not. Asterisks, exclamation points, and other typography can substitute for profanity when the unabridged dictionary isn\u2019t enough (it usually is\u2026.)<\/p>\n
Copyright. It\u2019s not just an old-fashioned word, it\u2019s the law. And it\u2019s a law that matters. So don\u2019t post copyrighted work here without permission (except for brief quotes in the course of a discussion) and cite the source for anything you do quote. Don\u2019t post elsewhere (off this blog) anything you find here without permission of its writer, whether it\u2019s the blog-owner or someone else\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n
