MLWFY Rules of Engagement

I have been very fortunate in that MLWFY has attracted sound minded people. However, it is the internet and the offense is still a good defense. So, we have a policy…fun, I know.

If there is an article or discussion that you would like to discuss, wonderful! The site is set up to handle that. For each article, there is a “Leave a Comment” feature. This allows you to leave ideas and thoughts directly to the page. It has some neat features that some of you are already aware of.

The form has a space for your name. I like to know who you are. There is also a spot for your email address. Don’t worry, I don’t sell them. However, they are required to help maintain the integrity of the site. More on that in a bit. Then there is a spot for your web address. Please format it http://www.nameofyoursite.com. This will create a link to your website from your name. This is a great option as MLWFY has a “do follow” policy. A comment here counts as a link to your site. See why I have to make sure commenters are the real deal?

Because I invite and enjoy your input, it is necessary to institute a comment policy. Not to deter you, but to keep those who would be less than constructive out. Hate it, but it is necessary.

• Be Golden - Treat others the way you would want to be treated. If that is a bit vague or not quite fitting for those who don’t care how they are treated, I reserve the right to ask that you treat others the way I want to be treated.
• Be Productive - Most folks are working towards a common goal of growth and betterment. Support that. Sound a bit Pollyanna? Maybe, but I am not so sure that’s a bad thing.
• Be Relevant - It is hard to come to a solution or discuss an idea if somebody insists on talking about something else. If there is a topic you would like to cover, contact us directly.
• Be Linky - Feel free to post relative links back to your site. I appreciate the bloggers that support me and I intend on returning the favor. If you are providing good content and great discussion, I hope you know that my house is your house…link it.

And I think that about covers it. Of course I reserve the right to modify this policy if the need arises. I also reserve the right to pull comments that are not in line with my policy. If you are a spammer, no explanation for you. But, if you are a legitimate participant, I will be more than happy to discuss why the comment was pulled.
