MyBlogWikiCommentingPolicy - Raymond Yee's Wiki

I've been running two public blogs (HypotyposisBlog and IuTechnologyArchitectureLodge) and this wiki for a little while yet. One issue that I need to deal with is my policy concerning comments and writings from others on my site. In general, I welcome the contributions of others. That's why I have commenting turned on my blogs and why I'm running a wiki at all (which is editable by anyone).

Nonetheless, I reserve the right to change anything I have on my websites without having to justify the actions that I take. These actions include:

deleting comments
editing comments to remove materials that I consider inappropriate
deleting pages on my wiki
taking down my entire site (or any arbitrary part of my site) at any time
deleting files (that are inappropriate, take up too much resources, etc)
blocking IP address or particular users who abuse my writing environments

That said, I want to treat the input of my reader and writers with great respect (which I hope that I have demonstrated). I will not intentionally misrepresent what others write. And I have no immediate plans to take any of the actions I listed above. But I will feel free to do so should the occasion arise.

I might want to say more later.

For comparison, MarkPilgrim's policy on comments on his site is a policy that I'm very sympathetic with when thinking about my own site.

Note one policy from MarkPilgrim that I will follow on my sites:

Comments that include irrelevant links to commercial sites will be deleted immediately, and posters will be banned by all available means.
