Weblog entry #54 for Steve
See all weblog entries made by Steve.
After deleting two more comments today I figure it is about time that I wrote comment guidelines / statements.
I figure it should say something like your comment may be deleted if it violates any of these rules:
- No personal attacks.
- No excessive profanity.
- No plaguerised content.
Anything else?
It sucks when you have to start doing this kind of thing. Still only to be expected I guess
Comments on this Entry
I hope these practices will not become too common and the spirit of this website (and of debian) will remain.
good job, Steve.

I've just deleted a bunch more, which is a pain.
I'll update the code to try to handle things a bit more gracefully, but it isn't going to be easy.

As a site gets more popular you will get more tolls and random idiots... If you get really popular start to expect lots of link-spam too.

I say don't feed the trolls, just ignore them, and let the comments be deleted without a reaction. If necessary, allow reporting of offensive posts.

However just to cover your own arse you should probably have a clear statment of what you will accept and what will happen to unacceptable content.

Pretty much agreed.
I certainly don't assume that by writing any guidelines that bad behaviour would be discouraged - but it does give an explaination, and shows what kind of content isn't acceptible.

There are some good ideas. I do not know how much stuff gets deleted there,
but the community is normaly clean.

Oh? When adding a link in textmode a space was placed between So. and html. Here is the link again :

Thanks for the nice link, there is a lot of good detail there.
(Space(s) are added to long unbroken text to avoid comments being able to 'widen' pages. I had thought I'd left links alone, I shall investiage.)

Yes, also have a look around at the forums. Alot of good discussions, about programming etc. Sometimes Linux, but mainly Windows orientedJoel on Software forums
