Like any online community, we impose a reasonable set of principles. As a contributor posting comments you agree to abide by them. Infringement of the requirements below may result in you being barred from site access and may affect entitlement to other Qdosology services.

Contributor names and personal information
You may use a nickname or screen-name alias for your username when posting, but please refrain from using anything offensive. If you choose a username that we consider to be obscene, indecent, abusive or which might otherwise subject us to public disparagement or scorn, we reserve the right without prior notice to you, to automatically change your username, delete your posts from our sites, deny you access to our sites, or any combination of these options. Never post a comment under another person's name or pretending to be another person. When commenting, your username is the only information that is displayed. However, you should always exercise judgment when revealing personal information about yourself when you post public comments. For more information, please read our Privacy Policy.
Topics of discussion
While the blog is intended to encourage a wide range of opinions, please keep your comments focused on the topic in which you are submitting your message. Posts may have a different topic, so what is appropriate in one post may not be appropriate in another. Queries are answered in the blog (although some may be answered by email), so that everyone can benefit from the replies and its content.

This includes, but is not limited to, any language or content that is sexually oriented, sexually suggestive or abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, or that contains racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind.

Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited. Pyramid schemes and chain letters involving money are prohibited. It is permissible for members to mention services or products that are provided by them or the companies with which they are affiliated, as long as the information is generic to the topic, is not a blatant advert and the contributor mentions their affiliation with the company in the comment.
Posting images
Contributors may embed images by linking to an image that exists on another site. In addition to the copyright restrictions mentioned above, users should also refrain from embedding any images of a sexual or offensive nature. If you are uncertain is an image is acceptable or not, please just post a link to the image with a warning that it goes to a page that some may find offensive. Any links to clearly offensive or pornographic materials will be removed immediately at the author's discretion.
Posting links
You may link to any other site that provides information that helps answer another's question or is just of general interest to contributor’s of that particular blog. One of the most basic tenets of the Web is the open exchange of information, and we wholeheartedly support this type of exchange. The only type of linking (besides porn and spam, of course) that will not be allowed on our site is if you solicit people to leave our site to join a competing service. Think about it. We won't allow people to use our site to promote a competing service any more than a brick-and-mortar retail shop would allow a competitor to paste flyers all over the shop front. However, people are always welcome to link to any online resource, whether it's on our site or any other site, in order to share useful information.
