Comments policy

Due to excessive spam and unhelpful comments, comments are now being closed on some or all webpages.

###

Comments are welcomed on some webpages and blog posts, subject to the following:

  1. Spammers are automatically caught by my anti-spam software.
  2. For-profit organisations may not advertise in the comments. These will be moderated and will be treated as spam.
  3. Links in comments are no-follow links.
  4. Comments are moderated. Comments must be polite, civil and must not include personal attacks.
  5. Long, rambling, incoherent comments that do not make a clear point, or are overly opinionated without a clear evidence base, may also not pass moderation.

I reserve the right to modify this policy as needs be. I reserve the right not to allow comments that do not follow these rules.

Note that the website is maintained by one person, who manages this in their spare time, outside a full time job, and comment moderation may take a while. Please be patient. I do not have the time or resources to reply in detail to every comment or to people asking why their comment has not passed moderation.
