Terms of Use for Travel-Comments.com

The use of this site, and the terms and conditions for posting of comments is governed by the Terms of Service Agreement. By using this site you acknowledge that you have read the Terms of Service Agreement and the disclaimers and caveats contained in this site, and that you accept and will be bound by the terms thereof.

We offer readers the ability to post messages to comments forum describing travel experiences. We ask that comments abstain from the following types of comments. Comments that do not follow these guidelines will not be posted.

The following types of comments will not be posted:

1. Use of offensive racial / gender / sexual preference / religion-bashing terms or other hurtful speech. If you use a word with racial overtones in your post name, that counts. Even if you find it a source of pride, the Web doesn't know what nationality you are.

2. Use of cuss words, and cussing in titles of comments / messages.

3. Spam and links to spam. If you want to advertise, contact us directly. Travel-Comments.com supports sponsor advertisements.

4. Links to inappropriate or unrelated content such as porn, distasteful pictures, etc. Many people read Travel-Comments.com from workplaces. Linking to this type of content changes Travel-Comments.com to a site that could get users in trouble with their bosses.

5. Posting of any personal information, names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails, etc. If you want to include your e-mail in a post, that's fine. Just don't type someone else's information and then make comments about that person.

6. Nonsensical posts that have nothing to do with the topic, repetitive diatribes posted to multiple items, off-topic posts that hinder discussion, and responses to those posts. We ask readers to ignore such posts. It's hard to keep the comments clear of them if several people respond to them and responses mix with actual commentary.

7. Personal attacks on other posters or Travel-Comments.com writers. Comment on ideas, not people. Travel-Comments.com writers are people with feelings, as are other commenters. There is no need to abuse them.

8. Double postings and "Sorry for the double post" messages. We will delete the double and the "sorry." If it happens to you, don't worry about it. Our news comments system is not perfect.

9. Anti-Canada, anti-England, or other nation-bashing and associated comments directed at the people of a nation and not the policies. We are a site about technology, not geography. Also, if someone has trouble with English, please be respectful, as it's most probably not their first language.

10. Posts announcing other unrelated news. Please submit breaking news directly to us instead of killing a discussion. We will get to it.
