   How and what to comment on OSNews   
   There are some rules around here that everyone should follow. Please make   
   sure you read them all before you post your comment.   
      
   If your comment will not comply with the following rules, it will be   
   moderated down (and it will only be viewable on a seperate web page). If   
   your comment is unlawful it will be deleted. And if you continue doing   
   it, your IP will be banned in the Apache level and you won't be able to   
   access OSNews again. We need to maintain a certain level of quality on   
   OSNews, we will not allow this site to become a house for trolls. We need   
   educated, intelligent people to read OSNews. We have enough traffic,   
   thank you very much, so we can fully afford to only have a readership   
   that understands and endorses quality.   
      
   Submission of a comment on OSNews implies that you have acknowledged and   
   fully agreed to the following terms:   
      
   1. No bad mouthing or cursing.   
   2. No attacks to other users or news editors of this web site.   
   3. Whatever you got to say, say it in a calm way, and explain your   
   reasoning as an adult, and not as a 10-year old kid.   
   4. Despite popular hallucinations, OSNews is not an open source news web   
   site. Mindless bashing at Microsoft or *any other* OS vendor IS NOT   
   ALLOWED. We support Microsoft the same way we support Linux, BSD, OSX   
   etc. We try to report equally on all OSes. We have had some Linux fanboys   
   bashing at Microsoft on any Microsoft-related news story we had, even if   
   their bashing had nothing to do with the actual news presented in the   
   story they were commented on. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE and degrades the   
   discussion quality on this web site. If you have a freaking problem with   
   Microsoft, it is not our problem, and we do not want to hear about it. If   
   your problem is related to the news story, by all means, DO discuss it.   
   CALMLY. No bashing. No trolling. Just *discuss* it.   
   5. Make sure you have read the whole news story before you start   
   complaining for something that it might have been already explained in   
   the article but you "missed it".   
   6. No stupid zealot OS wars. LISTEN to what other people say, and then   
   comment on. Having a single dimensioned approach on your comment over and   
   over again that might end up in a flame war, will end you up banned. You   
   have been warned.   
   7. No off topic comments. No bad-taste sarcasm. No cyber-vandalization of   
   any kind.   
   8. OSNews is not just about operating systems. We are reporting on other   
   technology news, on development issues and articles, hardware, and if are   
   short on news, we might kick in some sci-fi movie news or other stuff we   
   might find cool. This is normal. We do OSNews for fun/hobby, so it has to   
   be fun for us too. Comments like "this article is not OS news" will end   
   you up get flamed.   
   9. Do not reply to already moderated-down comments. This will cause your   
   comment to also get moded-down, no matter how good it might be.   
   10. Even if your whole comment might be nicely crafted and written, but   
   you got one line of text that does not comply with the above, it will   
   result to the moderation or deletion of the whole comment. You have been   
   warned, again.   
      
   Thank you,   
   the OSNews Team.
