Comment Policy

It is necessary to moderate the comments. I reserve the right to moderate all comments posted by certain individuals. I will make every attempt to approve comments as quickly as possible.
If you do make a comment you agree that you are fully aware of what you are posting and agree that you are not posting any copyrighted material which you are not legally allowed to post, and you take full responsibility for the contents of your comment. I can delete or edit any part of your comment as deemed inappropriate, at my sole discretion. Your IP Address is recorded every time you post a comment for security purposes.
Rules When Commenting
1. Do NOT post comments as "Anonymous". You must use a name. You can use any name you would like in the name field as long as you don’t try to impersonate someone else. Use your dogs name if you want, I really don’t care.
2. Use your own email address and don’t make something up. If I find that you have entered a false or invalid email address, I will delete your comment(s).
3. Your email address will remain confidential.
4. Make valid comments. If you see something that is offensive please bring it to my attention and I will either delete the comment or strike the offending word(s) even if I’m the offender.
Ending Debate on a Post
If I feel that comments have gotten out of hand on a post, I will terminate the debate on that post by disallowing additional comments. Straying from the original topic may be grounds to terminate commenting on a post.
Additional Guidelines:
English Only
This site publishes content in English language only and therefore only English comments should be posted.
Don’t Spam. Check Your Words.
Multiple spam filters are active on this site so if your comment doesn’t appear, it was probably blocked as spam. Please choose your words carefully as your keyword may be suspect spam and your comment may never be posted. Please, be respectful. No obscenities, vulgarities, or defamatory remarks will be accepted. Please email me if you have a problem posting a comment so that I can see if it was marked as spam.
Stay relevant and on topic.
Only comments relevant to the post should be posted so please keep the discussion on topic.
Note: Links to other websites from a comment will be monitored closely. Links that are self promoting of a product or other website will be deleted at my discretion.  If I find the link to the other site to be offensive to me, to this site, or to others in the flyball community, I will delete the link and/or the complete comment.
Don’t post long URLs. Use html tags.
If you’re leaving a comment on my blogs and want to point to a link on your own or someone else’s site that is relevant to the topic then please feel free to do so. This adds to the conversation and improves the blog. However, please use properly formatted HTML links so that very long URLs don’t break my template. Improperly formatted links with very long URLs can be deleted.
Protect your privacy.
Do not post your personal details like email address, phone number, mailing postal address in your comments. Only add your email address in the field on the form and your address will not be displayed with your comment. Spam bots scrape through such posted personal details to spam you later. Protect your privacy.
Note: If you decide to post your email address in a comment, you do so at your on risk.

My advice to those commenting on blogs (not just mine) is that in a sense you’re visiting someone else’s home when you leave a comment. Comments have the ability to build up or tear down your reputation. They are a permanent record of who you are and what you stand for – so take care – be gracious – make sure they add value (not only to the blog you’re visiting but also to your own online profile). ~ Darren Rowse the ProBlogger

This Policy is subject to change anytime at my sole discretion and any changes made will be effective immediately. If you would like to challenge my comment policy, please feel free to contact me at chrisandblast@hotmail.com.
