Introduction


Thank you for visiting my blog and I do hope you reply!

If I might explain a little more about how I work?


This blog

We can all benefit with postings on here and if its something we can share then please post a commnet or a question…

As the blog owner, we need a simple code of conduct and I will moderate to keep :

  1. Control over content and comments.
  2. Ability to edit comments.
  3. Ability to censor comments.
  4. Ability to delete comments.
  5. Ability to prevent comments by specific persons or groups.

Does this mean I will freely edit, censor and delete comments?

No.

This list simply means I have a “right” to do any of these.

The approach taken will be to keep the commercial side to a minimu we’ll discover what level of control over comments is needed as we go and I’ll let you know.

My Comments Policy simply sets the ground rules for playing on this blog.

Our Comments Policy is short and sweet not long and filled with a lot of legal jargon. It should match our overall blog writing style, not a legal jargon from the specialist lawyer .

Comments Policy:

  • Comment Form Guidelines: The comment form must be filled in with a name that is legitamite and URL. Comments using keywords, spam or splog-like URLs, or suspicious information in the comment form will be edited or deleted.
  • Email Privacy: Email addresses are required for commenting, and they are not published on the blog, nor shared. They may be used by me if we need to privately contact the each other (moderator).
  • Commenter Privacy and Protection: All email, snail mail, phone numbers, and any private and personal information posted in any comment will be deleted as soon as possible to protect the privacy of the commenter. To prevent such editing, never share this private information within the blog comment.
  • Language and Manners: This blog is “family friendly” and comments which include offensive or inappropriate language, or considered by the me or any administrator to be rude and offensive, will be edited or deleted. Play nice.
  • A Comment is Conversation: A comment which does not add to the conversation, runs off on an inappropriate tangent, or kills the conversation may be edited, moved, or deleted.
  • Limit Links: This blog is setup to automatically hold any blog comment with more than two links in moderation, which may delay your comment from appearing on this blog. Any blog comment with more than four links could be marked as comment spam.
  • How The Blogger Will Respond: Comments on this blog will only be responded to in direct response to the blog comment. The blogger will not respond privately via email or other communication method to a blog comment.
  • What To Do If Your Comment Does Not Appear: If you leave a comment on this blog and it does not appear in a reasonable time period, and you know that it does not violate these Comment Policies, contact the blogger (info@helional.co.uk).
  • No Personal Attach 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.
  • Comment Spam: Any comment assumed to be possible comment spam will be deleted and marked as comment spam.
  • Commenters Blocked: Anyone who violates this Comments Policy may be blocked from future access and/or commenting on this blog.
  • All Rights Reserved: The blog owner, administrator, contributor, editor, and/or author reserve the right to edit, delete, move, or mark as spam any and all comments. They also have the right to block access to any one or group from commenting or from the entire blog.
  • Hold Harmless: All comments within this blog are the responsibility of the commenter, not the blog owner, administrator, contributor, editor, or author. By submitting a comment on our blog, you agree that the comment content is your own, and to hold this site, Solarexpert, and all subsidiaries and representatives harmless from any and all repercussions, damages, or liability.
  • Trackbacks Are Comments: All trackbacks will be treated inline with our Comments Policy.

the beauty of social networking is freedom of speech and even disagreement is a massive contribution. Seems the best time to formally spell-out our comment policy, which serves as a reference tool for all that we thank the writers. Please be sure I’ll do everything I can to make sure that feedback is appreciated, and encouraged.
