Now that the site is becoming half famous, unfortunately it means that I have to be a little stricter on user comments as well as on my own posts.
Comments
Comments are moderated. The good news is that generally there is no restriction on coarse language. What I don’t want are comments that will get me sued, since this is a non profit (income) blog. Be particularly careful on comments about people or commercial organisations. Architecture, design or public art, will generally have no restrictions of any type. Go crazy. Obviously racist comments cannot be used. Sexist has a little more leeway on a satirical site, but I as the comedian will have to be the final judge. Comments that disagree with posts or other comments are encouraged, and so far in 2000 plus comments, no-one has really been snarky or offensive in any way. I really want that to continue. Comments have a great vibe. 20% intelligent discussion and insight and 80% slagging off is a really nice balance.
Photos or video.
Generally I am looking for original material that you own or have permission to use. You can link to online material on the suggest page or in comments, but guest posts will generally be of original material unless exceptional or not already widely circulated. Photos should be of things that are visible to the public, unless you have permission to use them. Jumping of fences or invasions or privacy even if very good will regretfully have to be refused. (I have to heed this myself, and have had to delete a few of my overenthusiastic pictures).
Keep up the good work, comments, pictures and suggestions. I love youse guys.
