Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site or make submissions on the Contact form, we collect the data shown in the Comments or Contact forms, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
In order to stop SPAM, if your comment does not follow our comment policy, it will be removed. Continuous abuse of the policy will result in permanent ban of the IP address, domain, and the email used.
The comment area is for comments related to the post. You should ask questions using the Contact form. If your comment contains personal information, or have a question related to the site, we will delete your comment and may use your email to contact you regarding the question.
Comments Policy
Comment Name –You must use your name for commenting. Comments using generic terms such as “Commenter”, “XYZ Company”, or the like will be flagged as SPAM and deleted.
Valid Email – Email addresses are required for commenting, and they are not published on the blog, nor shared. Email addresses that look like SPAM will be flagged as SPAM.
Language and Manners – Please leave your comments in English. This is a “family friendly site” therefore any comment that includes offensive or inappropriate language, and/or considered rude by our editorial staff will be edited or deleted. This is a friendly community, so “play nice in the sandbox”.
Add Value – A comment which does not add to the conversation, runs of on an inappropriate tangent, or kills the conversation may be edited, moved, or deleted. All SPAM comments will be deleted because they do not add value to the site.
Limit Links – We love resources as they can be really helpful sometimes, but in order to prevent SPAM and assure quality, we must limit links on the comments. Do not add more than two links in the comment. If you do so, your comment will be added for further review. DO NOT sign your comments with a backlink to your site. They will be removed.
No Personal Attack Comments Permitted – In the interest of fair play, no personal attacks are permitted in this blog’s comments. You may question or argue the content, but not attack the blogger, nor any other commenters. Failure to respect fellow participants on this blog could result in removal and blocked access.
All Rights Reserved – Our staff reserves the right to edit, delete, move, or mark as SPAM any and all comments. We also have the right to block access to any one or group from commenting or from the entire blog.
Hold Harmless – All comments are the responsibility of the commenter, not our web site or staff. By submitting a comment on our blog, you agree that the comment content is your own, and you agree to hold us and all representatives of KSpubs harmless from any and all repercussions, damages, or liability.
