Commenting Policy

This comments policy is a quick guide about posting comments on Quick Online Tips.

You agree that you are fully aware of what you are posting and agree that you are not posting any copyrighted material which you are not legally allowed to post. You take full responsibility for the contents of your comment and only you will be held liable in case of any enquiries or prosecution by any government authorities.

I can delete or edit any part of your comment as deemed inappropriate, at my sole discretion. Your IP Address is recorded everytime you post a comment for security purposes.

Some Guidelines

English Only
This site publishes content in english language only and therefore only english comments will be accepted.

All comments are moderated.
This is to prevent the irrelevant, self link promotion and spam comments from passing through. It helps improve the reader experience. I reserve the right to delete or edit any comment if it violates our comment policy.

Don’t Spam. Check Your Words.
Multiple powerful comment spam filters are active. I usually do not check the thousands of blocked spam comments. Please choose your words carefully as your keyword may be suspect spam and your comment may never reach me. No swear words, adult words or defamatory remarks will be accepted.

Stay relevant on topic
Only comments relevant to the post will be accepted. Keep the discussion on topic.

No Signatures
There is a comment form entry to add your url, which will direct to your link when clicked. Usually I remove signatures.

Dont post long urls. Use html tags
Use the html format to link urls. Very long urls break my template and I usually delete them.

Have Patience
Moderation delay is inevitable. I get hundreds of comments daily. I accept comments as soon as possible and there may be a delay of a few days. If your comment is important, and it does not show “Under moderation”, probably the spam filter blocked it. Email me to go looking for it.

Protect your privacy
Do not post your personal details like email address, phone number, mailing postal address in comments. Only add your email in the required email form in the comments that will not display your email publicly. Spam bots scrape through such posted personal details to spam you later. Protect your privacy.

In the end, I quote problogger Darren Rowse

“My advice to those commenting on blogs (not just mine) is that in a sense you’re visiting someone else’s home when you leave a comment. Comments have the ability to build up our tear down your reputation. They are a permanent record of who you are and what you stand for - so take care - be gracious - make sure they add value (not only to the blog you’re visiting but also to your own online profile)”.

NOTE: This Policy is subject to change anytime at my sole discretion and any changes made will be effective immediately.
