- Civil discourse is expected. You can attack ideas, you cannot directly attack other posters.
- I will not censor comments based on the ideas within the comments. Feel free to speak your mind, so long as you do it politely and intelligently.
- Profanity is permitted so long as it is not directed toward anyone else. That’s not to say you have an unlimited license to cuss like a sailor just because you feel like it, but I will not censor a comment strictly because it contains some four-letter invective.
- Spam will be immediately deleted. Extensive spammers will be dropped into the block bin, never to be removed. No spam has ever made it past my filters, please save yourself the trouble and don’t bother. Any comment which contains a link to a business site will, at my option, be deleted, or if I think it’s a legitimate comment, have the link deleted.
- While I don’t play grammar police here, you are expected to at least make an attempt to communicate in proper English. I understand if English isn’t your first language, I will make allowances for those have legitimate reasons, but for people who are just lazy, forget it. You’ll get a warning. See rule #6. “U” is not a word.
- I will warn people once for violating the comment policy. If you continue to violate the rules, or your violation is egregious enough, you will be moved back to moderation status. That means I will hand-moderate every single comment you make for as long as I think it’s necessary. Comments that do not violate the policy will be approved. I have no interest in permanently blocking any legitimate user, I have yet to do so, don’t be the first.
- Please understand, Bitchspot is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship. I am willing to discuss well-intentioned disagreements, but I am the final word on any decision.
