Our blog, our rules. We encourage debate, differences of opinion, and even a little bit of name calling, but we won’t accept behaviour that drives readers away.

• The GrodsTeam will decide if a commenter is behaving unacceptably by doing such things as trolling, shutting down comment threads, or making threats. It is important to note that expressing an opposing opinion is not the target of this policy.
• Identified commenters will be contacted via email (or publicly on a comment thread if a working email address has not been provided) and given a warning, with the unacceptable behaviour highlighted.
• If the behaviour continues the commenter will be put on moderation, with acceptable comments published after being reviewed.
• If the behaviour still continues the commenter will be banned.
