Let's go over some commenting guidelines

Hi friends! Since more people have been reading and commenting on my Blog lately, I'd like to take a moment to lay down some rules so we can keep my Blog as safe and welcoming and fun to read as possible! 

First, I'm sure the majority of my readers already know this bc we're more or less all Christians, but please do not use the Lord's name in vain. This includes using the phrase "omg" because it's just not something I'm comfortable having here. 

If I can't make out your name I won't post your comment. This includes if it's in a copy-and-paste font (unicode characters that look like letters but aren't) because screen readers like the one I use can't make them out. Some are easier for me to make out than others but I'm going to go ahead and say no copy-and-paste fonts so it's nice and clear. 

Adding onto that, please do not have a name that is just emojis or text art / symbols. I love emojis as much as the next person, but I need something to be able to identify you by. Of course you can have emojis in your name, it can be as crazy as you want just as long as it's not inappropriate, just make sure you have a name that is readable in plain English. 

Absolutely no swearing will be tolerated here. This also includes (in my definition) slurs against people of different background, race, religion, etc. This is a safe space and we want to love everyone just like God loves us. <3 

Lastly please be safe. Don't share your email addresses (if it's in your profile that's ok though) telephone number, street address, usernames to social networks etc. I get lots of views a day sometimes and not all of them comment. You never know who could be reading your info and plotting something with it.

That's basically it. Now I'll go over what happens if you break these rules. 

Since I can't do a bunch of the things you can do with WP (I can't see your emails unless you put them in your profile, IP addresses, etc and I can't edit things out of your comment) these may be a little different to what you've seen elsewhere. 

If you haven't broken the rules but I feel like you might I will reply to your comment with a reminder. 

If you do break the rules and I know you from your blog I'll make a comment on your Blog letting you know you broke the rules on mine and linking you to here. You don't have to moderate it or anything, I just want to be able to warn you somehow.

If your comment was deliberate spam then I will delete it without warning the poster. 

These aren't official yet, I'll post a page for them when they're official. For now let me know in the comments if you have any questions or suggestions. Until next time, this is Miss Gevious, signing off.
