You are welcome to be a part of our community and contributing your thoughts and insights through comments. To ensure that this remains a nice and inclusive space for everyone, we ask that all comments adhere to the following house rules:
- Be respectful and courteous. Disagreements and differing viewpoints are welcome, but please refrain from personal attacks or hateful language.
- Stay on topic. Please keep your comments relevant to the article or discussion at hand.
- Keep it clean. Please avoid using inappropriate or (very) offensive language, and refrain from posting spam or inappropriate content.
- Respect others. Please do not engage in any form of sexual harassment or discrimination. This includes, but is not limited to, making inappropriate comments or advances, or using language that is offensive or degrading.
- Avoid extremist viewpoints. We ask that the comments you make do not promote far-left or far-right winged ideologies.
- Follow the law. Please do not post any illegal or copyrighted content.
- Protect your privacy. Please do not share personal information about yourself or others in the comments.
- Spamming or flooding is not allowed. Spamming means submitting the same or very similar comment many times across the site. Flooding means re-submitting your contribution to the same blog entry multiple times. Please do not use a signature beneath your comment to promote websites, services, products or campaigns. This will cause your comments to be removed as spam.
We reserve the right to remove any comments that violate these rules. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the All Buttoned Up team. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping to make this a great community for everyone.
