I don’t think I have overly complicated rules, do i?
Now, if you come here with the sole purpose of showing how much smarter/prettier you are to buttress your ego, you will get removed.
Before, I just used to delete the post and give the offender the chance to not fuck up again. If that did not catch his/her, I’d move to full site ban.
But with age comes lack of patience. Starting today, you are a dick in the comments, you get tagged as spammer. That means you will get not only screwed in this blog, but in whatever other blogs use spam filters.
Some of my readers know the joy as I have had to rescue their comments from the spam filter. I am nice enough to remove the Spammer tag so their comments may appear. Other blogs are not as generous.
So: Don’t be a dick.
I can’t decide, threat or promise?
Don’t think I’ve commented here before, and frankly I have no business speaking for the blog owner, but as an outside observer it would seem to me this blog’s comment policy should be considered more on the level of a feature rather than a defect.
