Sacramento Real Estate Blog

I am experimenting with a new comment policy.  In the past, comments were moderated.

I have reset the comment settings to be un-moderated (in the Wordpress sense), and I’ve removed some other restrictions as well.

These settings are subject to change in the future.   However, if everyone will please observe the following guidelines, I’m hoping I can leave them open and we’ll move forward toward more fruitful discussion.

Please Note The Following Guidelines:

• Real email addresses are required. Anonymous comments are not permitted.  We apologize for any inconvenience.
• No spam.  If you see an article here about foreclosures and you want to tell people about your nifty foreclosure site, don’t.  If you have something to say on the topic of what the article and your comment is interesting enough, they’ll click through on your name.  There’s some leeway if your site does not compete with ours and is truly an informational resource, but see the note on the opaqueness of the algorithm, below.
• Disagree gently.  Though we try hard to be patient and have forbearance because it is one of the ten paramitas, the moderator(s) are sensitive people, with an unfortunate bad habit of working out their insecurities using the delete key.  Like the Google algorithm, the relationship of your civility to our patience is a black box.  We’re working on improving the latter.  Please work on the former as much as you can.
• Real names are preferred.  A real name takes the form:  “John Smith”, not “Alabama Luxury Condos”.  The “nofollow” tag gives no benefit to the latter anyway, so why not pull up a chair and tell us who you are?

And Finally… THANK YOU …

for your participation here and for helping us create an interesting discussion!  We appreciate you reading us!
