See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/?page_id=2\">About Paksworld<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>At present, readers can comment without registration.  That may change at any time if comments become a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The first comment from any source does not appear on the site it&#8217;s been approved.  Most pending comments will be cleared within 48 hours, holidays excepted.  (Moderator has a life, quite full.)<\/p>\n<p>Comments that look like spam will be reported as spam.  Future comments from that source will be assumed spam and sent to the spam bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Comments that contain inappropriate titles, topics, or language will be deleted without notice.   If a first comment is deleted, the next from that source will also go to moderation before appearing on the site.<\/p>\n<p>Titles:  Comments don&#8217;t need titles; if used, titles should not look like spam&#8211;sex, money, politics and nonspecific greetings (&#8220;Hi&#8221;)  lend a spam-like look and may get your coment deleted or reported as spam.  If you want to use a title, make it appropriate to the topic-range of this blog.<\/p>\n<p>Topics: Since topic drift is a constant of the &#8216;net-verse, moderator may let a conversation drift in hopes that it will drift back, usually with a reminder that this blog has a narrower channel than others, but eventually (and sooner in some cases) off-topic posts will be deleted.  It&#8217;s non-negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>Language:  Verbal abuse and profanity are inappropriate here.   Disagreement is OK; abuse and harrassment are not.  Asterisks, exclamation points, and other typography can substitute for profanity when the unabridged dictionary isn&#8217;t enough (it usually is&#8230;.)<\/p>\n<p>Copyright.  It&#8217;s not just an old-fashioned word, it&#8217;s the law.  And it&#8217;s a law that matters.  So don&#8217;t post copyrighted work here without permission (except for brief quotes in the course of a discussion) and cite the source for anything you do quote.  Don&#8217;t post elsewhere (off this blog) anything you find here without permission of its writer, whether it&#8217;s the blog-owner or someone else&#8217;s comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This information on Policies is now posted on its own page (see links above) for reference, but I thought I&#8217;d stick it in as a post as well.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve now had enough spam comments and comments that just weren&#8217;t quite appropriate that I thought it was time to reveal the rules by which comments are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52\/revisions\/56"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
