The Man Shed Blog Rules
"BE NICE, BE GOOD, BE HELPFUL......... OR BE GONE!
Please read right to the bottom to see the rules for
advertising.
This is NOT a Blog for naming and shaming, it was set up to
be a positive resource to share information that is of benefit to others.
The comments section of The Man Shed’s websites is a users
space where they discuss and share on topical issues triggered by content
published by The Man Shed. These guidelines aim to promote the forums by
ensuring each user has a chance to freely exchange ideas without breaching the
law while observing good taste:
TASTE – Keep it friendly
and courteous. If you can't be polite, don't say it. No SHOUTING (i.e. a few
words can be in CAPS for emphasis, but generally posts in FULLCAPS will not be
approved). Respect other participants’ views.
LAW – Ensure what
you state is based on verifiable fact. Reasonable and defensible opinion will
pass. No personal attacks, name calling, libel, defamation or hate speech.
HATE - Do not
threaten, harass or bully. Also avoid obscene, sexist, tribal or racist posts.
Strong comments shall be allowed if commenting about someone who said something
equally forceful or controversial. The comments section is a democratic space,
therefore all have a chance to share their perspective on topical issues.
LANGUAGE – Since
participants in the forums are from mixed backgrounds, English shall be the
primary language of conversation. Some widely "accepted" slang might be
permitted.
RELEVANCE -
Please stay on topic set by the article or content item on which you are
commenting. However, it is permitted to bring up related material from the
past, or to make comparisons that might help elaborate a point. If you would
like to initiate debate on an issue not covered on the website, please send an
email to hello@themanshed.com
MODERATION – TMS
moderates all posts before they are published. Only comments that meet the
criteria outlined above will be approved.
ADVERTISING – No advertising
on this site, unless related to the subject and permitted by TMS.
Thanks.
The admin team.
