POSTING COMMENTS
Please keep comments on posts “polite”. The vast majority of commentators do this. Vigorous argument is encouraged. Personal abuse or “Flaming” is not. We will edit or delete these posts. If we miss an inappropriate comment – we do get an email copy of each comment – please contact us via the Contact OzVolley tag at the top of the page.
Be fair; be vigorous; be nice
- Keep it clean. Avoid language that is obscene, vulgar, lewd or sexually-oriented. If you can’t control yourself, don’t post it.
- Don’t threaten to hurt or kill anyone.
- Be truthful. Don’t lie about anyone or anything.
- Be nice. No racism, sexism or any other sort of -ism that degrades another person. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK, and forgive people their spelling errors.
- Share what you know, ask about what you don’t. Give us your opinion, eyewitness accounts, background, observations and history. What more do you want to know about the post?
- Stay focused, and ask questions. Keep on the post’s topic.
- If you want to go in to new territory, send us a post suggestion, or write it yourself and send it in. We are always looking for new content.
Using nick names
We are happy for commentators to use pseudonyms but please do not “hide” behind the pseudonym to say something that you would not say in person. Please do use a valid email address. We will not disclose it to anyone, but it gives us the opportunity to follow up or clarify an issue with you if the need arises.
Products and businesses
If you are commenting on a product or business that you own or represent, or the product or business of your opposition, then we think that it is only fair that you acknowledge your connection to that business or product.
How do I post a comment?
For those new to blogs, you can add a comment to the bottom of each post by clicking on the leave a comment – 2 comments tag at the end of each post. You can read comments written by others by clicking the same tag.
My comment didn’t appear!
Occasionally, a comment will be trapped in our spam filter. If your comment does not appear in the blog after a few minutes, contact us via the Contact OzVolley tag at the top of the page.
Avatars
Some people have been asking how to get a picture – an avatar – beside their comment. This takes a few seconds, but is not that difficult.
- Go to http://wordpress.com
- Click on the green sign up now tag
- Fill out the details in the page(s) that come up. Make sure that you click on the just a user name please button at the bottom of the first info page
You should be able to upload a picture to use as an avatar, and you will be recognised on any wordpress blogs.
If you do not have an avatar, one will be automatically generated using your email address so that each time you come on you will get the same automatic avatar. Remember this if you wish to comment as another “personality”. If you don’t change the email address, everyone will know who you are!
