The information collected is for statistical purposes only.

Comment Policy

We encourage discussions as we are committed to providing a free open forum to discuss any idea proposed on this site.

Comment Moderation

In order to maintain the integrity of the blog and its content, all comments, trackbacks, and pingbacks made to the LifeinJamaica.net are moderated. We will try to review and approve comments within the shortest possible time, but please do not re-submit your comment if it does not appear right away.

Language, Length, and Format

Please avoid harsh language and personal attacks. Flaming or use of threatening language is not allowed nor will it be tolerated. Ideally, your comment will be under 200 well chosen words with paragraphs as necessary; white-space makes the content easier to read on a computer screen.

Linking To Your Site and Others

Please do not view this as an opportunity to promote or advertise your website in the LifeinJamaica comments section. Excessive and/or inappropriate links will be removed. Double-check your links, because any link which returns an error, leads to a site under construction, or cannot be loaded by the browser will be removed.

Signatures in Comments

Adding a signature is completely optional. If you decide to include one, please keep it short (2 line maximum) and do not include a link to your website. You are welcome to add your website’s link in the designated URL box, just below your name and e-mail address and your name will be automatically hyper linked.

E-mail Addresses

Please use a valid e-mail address when commenting on the blog. It will not be displayed unless you type it in the body of your comment and you will not be subscribed to any mailing list by leaving a comment.

If you use an invalid e-mail address or one which requires any type of human interaction to confirm you are not spammers, your comment will be deleted — no exceptions.

Editing Comments

We reserve the right to edit or delete comments as we feel necessary. Blatant spelling and grammatical errors will be edited and serious edits will be notated at the end of the comment.

If your comment conveys a coherent thought, it may just be edited; tirades will most likely be deleted. At no time will we attempt to alter the core meaning of a comment.

Special Provisions for Comment Spam

We take comment spam seriously and all IP addresses used for spamming will be reported to the internet blacklists, the ISPs/hosts for the offending domain will be notified, and the owner of the IP block will be notified of the problem.

Final Words

You, and only you, are responsible for your words. They are yours and you get to keep them. However, by posting your comments to the blog you are granting us the right, in perpetuity, to use, alter, and/or display them however we see fit.

Once your comment is submitted, that is it — you’re immortalized.
