Blog Etiquette:Please read the following rules carefully, as it will help ensure that everyone has a meaningful experience when visiting, reading or posting on Countering the Nanny State. By posting, you agree to abide by these guidelines, so please be sure that you understand them. Failure to play nice and live within the rules may result in your posts being removed, or you may be blocked from posting in the future. Remember, we may not all agree but we should be able to get along in a civilized manner. If you have questions, please contact the blog administrator at nbtaxpayers@gmail.com

If you find an offensive post, please e-mail the blog administrator at nbtaxpayers@gmail.com. While we are not responsible for the contributions of any individual, we reserve the right to delete in its entirety any post, which we, in our sole discretion, deem to be offensive to the sensibilities of ordinary persons, or which might subject us to legal liability.

Flame wars: Posters will be expected to maintain a basic level of civility and courtesy toward others. Please avoid flame wars or anything that you KNOW will cause others to flame. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Offensive Language: The administrators expect that individuals will express themselves as is appropriate for a public forum. The use of profanity is strongly discouraged by all administrators at Countering the Nanny State. Continued use of profanity will cause a post to be deleted. Posts containing racial, sexual, ethnic or religious slurs will be deleted promptly. Repeated posts containing offensive language will result in your posts being blocked from the forum. Discriminatory and/or bigoted language will not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form.

Spamming: No spam (posts containing advertising) is allowed.

All Caps: Please refrain from posting using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Capital letters are great for emphasis, but an entire post in all caps is very annoying and difficult to read.

Blog Ethos in a nutshell: If you have nothing constructive to offer to the discussion (as determined by any of the blog administrators), then it's best to just wait until you do. Otherwise, your posts can be removed without warning. If you continue to make offensive posts, you will be banned.
