I’m Trying Something New With the Comments

Just an announcement, happy YankMcCain.com visitors.

I’m testing a new comment policy.  Previously, I was part of the spam filter and had to approve comments, but otherwise I didn’t mind what was posted (see the “You’re an idiot” comment if you don’t believe me).  I think that’s keeping people away though.  So I’m changing to open commenting and trackbacks.  All you have to do is post, and it’s there.

Just a few rules and things you should know first:

1. Avatars are allowed, but PG or less only.  I don’t want to see naked pictures of you or your goldfish.  We do not do goldfish porn here on YankMcCain.com
2. You will have to give me a name and email address.  It doesn’t have to be your real name though.  I don’t share them with anyone.  Period.
3. Do not Speak The Profanity in Loud Tones.  If you do, I’ll delete your comment.  Only the Master Maverick may Speak The Profanity in Loud Tones, and you are not worthy.
4. If you have more than one link in your comment, it goes into moderation.  If I think it’s spam, I delete it.
5. If your trackbacks are spam, I delete them.
6. If you break any of these rules, or trackback to any site that does, the comment gets deleted.
7. In fact, I reserve the right to delete any comment or trackback for any or no reason without notice because I’m the sole arbiter of my site’s comment short of a court order.  However, unless you’re a spammer or do not allow McCain his exclusive due to Speaking The Profanity in Loud Tones, I’ll almost certainly leave it alone.  I don’t care if you disagree with me or compliment me in codespeak (read the FAQs if you don’t know what that means).

This should work out well (famous last words).  If not, I’ll just change it back.  Thanks for visiting, and remember:  The Maverick had it coming.  All of them do.
