Comment Policy

Posted on April 13, 2008

This page contains any and all information regarding user comments on the site. Below are the topics that are covered:

Purpose and Attitude

I love comments on this blog. It is a way for me, the commenter, and other readers to grow, learn, and build relationships. This site is dedicating to personal and financial growth. Please make sure your comments adhere to the spirit of the policy.

Language

Be respectful and encouraging to everyone. Feel free to disagree, especially with me, but do it in a way that encourages growth for both parties. Profanity will not be tolerated.

Comment Moderation

The first comment by all commenters will be moderated. I will try to approve comments at least once a day. If you don’t see your comment appear, it is got rejected or sucked up by the spam filter.

Email Address Use

Please use a valid e-mail address when commenting on the blog. It will not be displayed unless you type it in the body of your comment. It will not be used for any reason other than facilitating communication between the commenter and The Happy Rock. No mailing lists, no spam.

Subscription To Comments

This is a great way to stay plugged in without having to revisit the site every few minutes. To receive notification of comments left after yours select the “Notify me of follow up comments via e-mail” check box. You will not be subscribed to a mailing list as a result of subscribing to the comments and you can have your e-mail address removed at any time by visiting the comment subscription manager. Follow up comments will be sent to your email address.

Names, Links, and Signatures

Please use a name that represents you in some way. Names that are just search keywords will be deleted.

Feel free contribute relevant links of value. Links can be to your own site or someone else’s site as long as the are relevant to the discussion. Comments with irrelevant links run the risk of being deleted.

Please use this guide to posting links. Insert this text right into the comment text box, and it will become a link when the comment is posted.

Use proper XHTML markup: <a href=”web address” title=”…”>Link Anchor Text</a>
Use descriptive anchor text
- Bad: <a href=”…”>here</a>
- Good: <a href=”…” title=”Google Homepage”>Google Homepage</a>

U Comment / I Follow Policy

To encourage community and regular commenters I disable the no follow tag after a certain number of posts(one time posters will not be rewarded). This allows Google to follow to your website. Please refer to the no follow community for more information.

Please don’t view this as an opportunity to promote or advertise your website. If you are leaving a comment please advance the discussion, otherwise your comment may be deleted. If you don’t have anything relevant to say, come back later. Excessive and/or inappropriate links will be removed.

Editing Policy

I have not edited a comment, but I do reserve the right to remove or edit disrespectful, inflammatory, misleading, or profane comments. I also have a wordpress plugin installed which will give you two minutes to edit a comment after you submitted it.

Have fun, learn, grow, and be encouraging!
