Blog Rules

I couldn't write, i am irritated and i can't write when i am irritated. Anyway, i would like to claim that my blog is open for debate and comment, but it is not a free-for-all. In lurking on some other blogs, I felt the same way with Deven. I have decided to post it here:

One of the reasons I love to blog is how it enables intelligent discussion. The blogger throws out some ideas, and if the post gets enough attention, the post will have some discussions generated in the form of "comments". Sometimes people who send their comments are clear, concise, and convincing. Even if the blogger doesn't change his mind about the idea on which he posted, perhaps he'll better understand a different point of view. Best yet, future Internet users my find the post and comments useful results from an Internet content search. Unfortunately, there are a few factors which can limit the usefulness of the blog post/comments.
A concept called "comment spam" is both aggravating and annoying. A few years ago, I had a blog that was running along very smoothly until one day I noticed that I'd received some 200 comments attached to various posts. After peeking at a few of them, I soon realized that they were all just generic comments such as "I like it!" or other random text that didn't make any sense. Each one had a link to a typical spam web site advertising a dating service, generic Viagra, mortgagees, etc. Fortunately, I was able to quickly remove all of them programmatically, but a dilemma was created: On the one side, I like to keep my blog posts open to comments, but I don't blog so that people can advertise bogus web content to my blog readers.
Another factor which limits the usefulness of a blog is a concept called "trolling". A troll is a post which is intentionally incorrect, but not overtly controversial, or the act of sending such a message. Trolling aims to elicit an emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply key. A really subtle troll makes some people lose their minds. Trolling is more about
diatribe
than discussion.
To prevent comment spam and trolls, comments on this blog will be moderated. The purpose of the moderation is NOT to prevent people who have a different point of view than I from posting comments. Abiding by these simple rules will ensure that your comments are posted.
1. No comment spam. Advertising a site by putting up unrelated mumbo jumbo is not tolerated. If it’s not relevant to the blog, don’t link it.
2. No trolls. If you have a different point of view than is expressed in a posting, keep your opinion fact-based and free from personal insults.
3. Keep the language clean, free of profanity, racism, bigotry, etc.”

I only beg the society to be considerate. Ryaniquel, out.
