| While I appreciate the effort to maintain a civil and organized comment section, these rules come across as unnecessarily controlling and may discourage open participation.
Forcing Identity Disclosure: Requiring names (even pseudonyms) can deter people who value privacy or fear harassment. Not everyone wants to attach any name to their thoughts, and that shouldn’t invalidate their contributions. Arbitrary Link Policies: The rule about commercial links feels inconsistently enforced. What’s “directly relevant” is subjective—why not just ban all unsolicited advertising instead of policing relevance? Profanity Filters: While vulgarity can be disruptive, blanket bans on profanity ignore context. Mild language in frustration or emphasis isn’t the same as outright hostility. ROT13 for Spoilers: This is an outdated and clumsy solution. Most forums use spoiler tags (e.g., [spoiler]), which are more accessible and user-friendly. Deleting Typo Corrections: If typos are irrelevant, why even allow them in the first place? Deleting them seems petty—readers might benefit from seeing corrected info. The overall tone suggests a preference for sterile, heavily moderated discussion over organic conversation. If spam is the issue, better tools exist (like automated filters). These rules feel like they prioritize the blogger’s convenience over community engagement. |
