Our Website Comment Guidelines
We love comments about our articles, and we want to hear
what you respectfully have to say. Remember to:
·
Be nice, courteous, and stay on topic.
·
No profanity, name-calling/personal attacks, or inappropriate content.
·
If you harass others or joke about tragedies, you will be blocked.
·
No spam posts, or posts trying to sell anything.
The primary rule here is pretty simple:
Treat others with the same respect you’d want for yourself. Trolling and
posting inappropriate content will lead to you being banned, and we don’t want
that. Play nice.
Our moderators do their best not to delete comments, we
feel that the community has individual, often strong opinions
and points of view. We do, however, reserve the right to remove comments for
the reasons mentioned above, as well as:
·
anything that violates our Privacy Policies.
·
anything derogatory based on race, religion, color, national
origin, disability, sexual orientation and/or otherwise derogatory in any
perceived way.
·
any other comments that are detrimental to the community.
Our moderators try to catch inappropriate content, but
we also hope that our community will help us police it as well. If you see a
comment that is inappropriate, send us an email at comments@mst3kinfo.com.
We’ll review the comment and determine whether it should stay or go.
These guidelines are not intended and may not be relied
upon to (and does not) create any right enforceable by any party other than
ourselves. It doesn’t require us to take (or even not take) any action.
We will sometimes change the technologies that run our
websites. These include different software, hardware, and even web hosting.
Some comments, especially older ones, may not be available in future versions
of our sites.
Can’t find your comment on the site?
·
We do occasionally run into technical difficulties, and your
comment may not have made it to our site.
·
We may not have approved it because it broke one of those rules
listed above.
·
We may have deleted it because it violated the comment
guidelines.
Why am I blocked from commenting?
While we do our best to let everyone have a voice in our
online communities, sometimes commenters step over the line. We sometimes block
and ban commenters who break the rules. Banning procedures use various
technologies and information to enforce the block, including emails, IP
addresses, and any other available information.
This stops the abusive commenter from commenting on the
site in the future, even if later or other comments are not abusive. Depending
on the software we are using at the time, banning might cause other previous
comments from the abuser to disappear as well.
