Comment Policy

If you choose to leave a comment, or are new to leaving comments on my blog, you may want to read this all the way through.

Thank you for leaving a comment on My Women Stuff. Comments are actively encouraged to promote discussions between you and me and other readers or commentators. If you have a question, please check the date of the post – I usually do not respond to comments on old posts. You may drop me a line at parisb(at)mywomenstuff.com if you’d like your query addressed.

  • you will not make inciteful, spiteful or hurtful comments about anyone.
  • you will be polite and promote constructive discussion.
  • Any links you leave will have value and will be related to the subject matter of the post.
  • you will not treat the comment box as an advertisement opportunity or for self promotion. If you work for a certain company and leave comments promoting your product, even without linking I will know and I will delete future comments.
  • You will not leave signature links. Links to your blog should be left in the URL box not the comment box. Such links will be deleted.
  • you will use a proper name not some spammy name for SEO purposes. Comments of this nature will be deleted.

As My Women Stuff has an international audience, please try to leave comments in English or mostly in English – text/sms language, short forms or slang (except commonly acknowledged abbreviations) are specifically discouraged because I too have difficulty understanding it and if I cannot understand it, I cannot and will not respond. If it is unintelligible, I may delete it without notice. If its not in English I may not approve your comment.

I exercise full discretion to moderate or disallow any comments which I find has infringed my comment policy here. This is to promote an enjoyable experience for all regular readers and visitors. I will not censor any comments that express a different point of view or opinion but I will delete comments that are rude or insulting towards others or are calculated to incite trouble or which are left solely to promote a particular brand or product. If you work for a brand and want to promote your product please use the proper advertising channels – the comment box is not for self-promotion. Anonymous comments will be deleted without notice.

If you have used a picture from my blog without permission nor credit and leave a comment with a link to your blog, I will delete your comment without notice. I do not condone stealing nor thieves.

I do not encourage links that do not add value to the discussion and all spam comments will be deleted without reference. If you have a website or blog, you may leave your URL in the URL box not in the body of the comment unless it is specifically related. Links within comments to websites selling stuff or blatant advertising or promotions may be treated as spam and deleted without notice.

If you are a vendor I value your comments and input but I do not encourage blatant advertising in my comment box on my website nor do I encourage self-promotion. Should you wish to work out an advertising package on my site, please feel free to contact me with an offer or feel free to contact me for product review guidelines.

Please keep this an enjoyable experience for everyone.
