El Dorado Disc Sports is a website of all things Disc Sports related. We are a resource site that provides quality tips, and tools that you need to enhance your experience. One of the ways to improve this collective resource is having interaction within the site through the use of comments. In order to assure quality, we must have a policy to fight against SPAM.
While we appreciate each comment, if your comment does not follow our comment policy, it will be removed. Continuous abuse of the policy will result in a permanent ban of the IP address, domain, and the email used.
FAQ
How to get Support for a Problem? – If you have a general question directly regarding the story that we posted, please post a comment in the post. If your question is specific regarding something else then you should use our Contact Form. The comment area is not the best place to ask a question that is not related to the post. You should ask the question using our Contact form, or use our Suggestion Page to suggest something that you would like to see. If your comment contains personal information or has a personal question specific about something else on the site, we will delete your comment and use your email to contact you regarding the question.
What to Do If Your Comment Does Not Appear – If you leave a comment on this blog and it does not appear in a reasonable time period (1 business day), and you know that it does not violate these Comment Policies, please contact us using the Contact form.
Policy
Respect each other's opinions – It's simple, don't be a jerk. You know the old saying: "Treat others as you would like to be treated." Learn it and live it. If you disagree with a comment, feel free to respectfully and politely challenge that comment in a civil manner. Do not engage in personal attacks (including name-calling) on fellow commenters, EDDS staff, or blog authors -- this is not the place for it! KNOW that we have a limited tolerance for profanity and obscenity. If you see something offensive, don't ignore it, flag it.
Comment Name – We do not allow Keywords stuffed in the name field. You must use your name or nickname for commenting. Comments using keywords such as “Web Design Company” or similar will be flagged as SPAM and deleted.
Valid Email – Email addresses are required for commenting, and they are not published on the blog, nor shared. Email addresses that look like SPAM will be flagged as SPAM.
Language and Manners – This blog is written in English, so leave your comments in English. El Dorado Disc Sports is a “family friendly site” therefore any comment that includes offensive or inappropriate language, and/or considered rude by our editorial staff will be edited or deleted. This is a friendly community, so play it NICE.
Add Value – A comment which does not add to the conversation runs off on an inappropriate tangent or kills the conversation may be edited, moved, or deleted. Stay on topic. If the article is about disc golf, don't talk about Mom's cooking. All SPAM comments will be deleted because they do not add value to the site.
Don't Feed The Trolls – If you think someone's a nuisance commenter or worse, please don't goad that person in the comments. That only makes it worse for everybody. Use the flagging system and let us know; we'll take the appropriate action. (But remember that your definition of a "troll" and our interpretation of whether someone's breaking the rules may not match.)
Keep it legal – This isn't a place to violate any laws or to discuss illegal activities, so keep it all legit and above board.
Respect people's privacy – You wouldn't want your e-mail address, phone number, or other personal information plastered all over a public site, would you? We didn't think so. Please do not share another person's personal information.
Limit Links – We love resources as they can be really helpful sometimes, but in order to prevent SPAM and assure quality, we must limit links on the comments. Do not add more than two links in the comment. If you do so, your comment will be added for further review. DO NOT sign your comments with a backlink to your site. They will be removed.
No Personal Attack Comments Permitted – In the interest of fair play, no personal attacks are permitted in this blog’s comments. You may question or argue the content, but not attack the blogger, nor any other commenters. Failure to respect fellow participants on this blog could result in removal and blocked access.
Closed discussion threads – At El Dorado Disc Sports' discretion, at any time we can close a discussion thread to disallow further comment submissions.
All Rights Reserved – El Dorado Disc Sports Editorial Staff reserves the right to edit, delete, move, republish, or mark as spam any and all comments. We also have the right to block access to any one or group from commenting or from the entire blog.
Hold Harmless – All comments within El Dorado Disc Sports are the responsibility of the commenter, not the editorial staff of El Dorado Disc Sports. By submitting a comment on our blog, you agree that the comment content is your own, and you agree to hold El Dorado Disc Sports, all subsidiaries of El Dorado Disc Sports, and all representatives of El Dorado Disc Sports harmless from any and all repercussions, damages, or liability.
COPPA – The El Dorado Disc Sports Foundation is unable to post comments from children under the age of 13 due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are 12 years old or younger, you may e-mail us rather than posting a comment.
