THE TEA ROOM WILL NO LONGER PUBLISH ANONYMOUS COMMENTS.
THERE ARE SIMPLY TOO MANY TO WADE THROUGH EACH DAY AS I ALONE MODERATE EVERY SINGLE WORD THAT IS POSTED HERE.
MOST, ALMOST ALL COMMENTS BY "ANONYMOUS" EITHER CONTAIN HYPERLINKS NOT ALLOWED HERE, OR PROFANITY TO A HIGH DEGREE, OR ARE ATTACKS ON OTHERS WHO COMMENTED, OR SOME WHINER WHO DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY THE TEA ROOM READS.
I'M SICK OF WASTING TIME ON HUNDREDS OF THOSE EACH WEEK.
COMMENT USING YOUR NAME OR "WEB NAME" OR EVEN A NOME DE PLUME OR JUST DON'T COMMENT.
GOT IT?
I REPEAT, IF YOU TRY TO LEAVE A COMMENT AS "ANONYMOUS" IT WILL BE MARKED AS SPAM AND DELETED WITHOUT BEING READ.
UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR SCREW-UP, NO COMMENT CAN BE POSTED UNTIL I LOOK AT IT.
I'VE HAD ONE, JUST ONE SLIP BY IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE WRITTEN HERE.
NONE ARE EXEMPT FROM MODERATION, ALL ARE MODERATED.
I HOPE THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I AND I ALONE DECIDE WHAT GETS POSTED.
NEXT, NO ONE DRAGGED YOU HERE OR FORCED YOU TO READ ONE WORD WRITTEN.
THIS BLOG WAS NOT STARTED AS A POPULARITY CONTEST, THE TEA ROOM DOES NOT CARE IF NO ONE READS HERE OR IF 10,000 READ HERE EACH DAY, AND CARES LESS WHO DOESN'T LIKE WHAT'S POSTED, SO IF YOU COME, READ, DON'T LIKE IT, THEN IT'S SIMPLE...NEVER COME BACK AND READ AGAIN.
YOU OWE IT TO NO ONE TO TRY TO COMMENT YOUR DISPLEASURE.
JUST GO AWAY AND DO NOT COME BACK.
SIMPLE?
FAIR ENOUGH?
I DON'T EVEN ALLOW SITES TO COUNT MY TRAFFIC HERE!
IT SIMPLY DOES NOT MATTER TO ME.
HERE'S A LIST OF WHAT ELSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE COMMENT SECTION AND ALWAYS WILL BE EXCLUDED, WHICH I AHVE POSTED HERE WAY TOO MANY TIMES:
~ NO, NONE, NOT ONE ADVERTISEMENT FOR ANYTHING THAT ANYONE IS SELLING, AND NO LINKS TO "NOT-FOR-PROFIT" SITES ARE ALLOWED.
NO ADVERTISEMENTS, NO ADS, JUST FORGET IT!
NO LINKS TO "SERVICES".
NO LINKS TO "MAKE MONEY FAST", NO LINKS TO ANY SHAPE OR FORM OF ANY "ONLINE BUSINESS", "ONLINE HELP SITE", "MAGIC SPELLS OR POTIONS", "DATE ASIAN GIRLS", NOTHING SIMILAR TO ANY OF THAT.
NOTHING GETS SOLD ON THE TEA ROOM SITE.
~ NO HYPERLINKS EXCEPT TO SITES THAT EDUCATE OR INFORM ABOUT THE TOPICS DISCUSSED HERE.
I SCAN EVERY LETTER, EVERY NUMBER, EVERY PUNCTUATION TO MAKE SURE NOTHING RESEMBLING AN ADVERTISEMENT OR A LINK TO A COMMERCIAL WEBSITE GETS POSTED.
THERE HAVE BEEN RARE EXCEPTIONS, BUT THOSE COMMENTS WERE NOT FROM ANONYMOUS SOURCES.
~ ONLY LINKS TO VIDEOS THAT EDUCATE/INFORM AND ADD TO CONTENT ARE ALLOWED. I CHECK EACH ONE PERSONALLY.
~ ABSOLUTELY NO "F-BOMBS", NOTHING STRONGER THAN A "HELL" OR A "DAMN" OR MAYBE A "BS". SOME OF MY GRANDCHILDREN READ HERE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY THE "F WORD" SO THAT WILL NEVER BE POSTED HERE.
~ NOTHING REMOTELY PORNOGRAPHICAL.
~ NO VERBALLY PROFANE TIRADES AGAINST OTHERS WHO HAVE POSTED COMMENTS.
I TOSS OUT DOZENS OF THOSE EACH DAY.
IF YOU HAVE HATE OR ANGER ISSUES, GET HELP.
OR DON'T.
BUT FORGET SPREADING THAT IN THE TEA ROOM.
BOTTOM LINE, AS ALWAYS...MY BLOG, MY WAY, I MAKE THE RULES, I ENFORCE THEM.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY FREQUENT ALL-CAPS, UNLESS YOU'D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO DONATE YOUR EYES FOR TRANSPLANT, OR HAVE SOME WONDERFUL CURE FOR MY FAILING EYESIGHT, EITHER DEAL WITH MY NEED FOR ALL-CAPS OR JUST DON'T READ HERE.
I LOATHE "NETIQUETTE" ANYWAY.
I'LL USE WHATEVER I PLEASE TO WRITE THIS BLOG.
DEAL WITH IT, OR DON'T.
I'VE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED WRITING IT IN TURQUOISE, SO ALL-CAPS ISN'T A BAD DEAL.
AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE ANONYMOUS COMMENTS.
NONE.
NEVER AGAIN.
