COMMENTING
There are only three reasons a comment may be deleted:
1) if the comment is obviously SPAM or for promotional purposes (e.g., come to our website to read more about this topic)
2) if the comment doesn’t have anything to do with the subject or topic under discussion
3) if the comment is deemed abusive by the administrator (e.g., it resorts to name calling, threats, or personal attack).

Typically, the administrator will delete the abusive comment or spam. If a comment has been edited, a disclaimer will appear at the bottom of the comment indicating such. If you have attempted to post a comment that you feel did not fall into one of these three categories, which failed to appear on the site within 24 hours, you can assume there must have been a technical glitch, and you are encouraged to re-post your comment.

Comments are closed.
