Comment Policy

Murder Village is a resource site relevant to the LGBTQ+ community and supporters in Toronto. The Gay Village should be a refuge for LGBTQI2S+ community (and their friends, families and supporters). Although we do our best to make this a safe space, we cannot promise that this will be “comfortable.” We aim to be honest, diligent and inclusive. We aim to tell stories.

One of the ways to improve this collective resource is having interaction within the site through the use of comments. In order to assure quality, we must have a policy to fight against SPAM.

If your comment does not follow our comment policy, it will be removed. Continuous abuse of the policy will result in permanent ban of the IP address, domain, and the email used.

POLICY

Comments Manually Approved – We do not allow automatic approval and posting of comments. We are the only ones who will see your comment until we approve it. Every comment is manually approved.

Comment Name – We do not allow Keywords stuffed in the name field. You must use your name or nick name for commenting. Comments using keywords such as “Web Design Company” or similar will be flagged as SPAM and deleted.

Valid Email – Email addresses are required for commenting, and they are not published on the blog, nor shared. Email addresses that look like SPAM will be flagged as SPAM.

Language and Manners – This blog is about death and murder, but we expect people to maintain decorum. Offensive words and inappropriate comments will not appear.

Add Value – A comment which does not add to the conversation, runs of on an inappropriate tangent, or kills the conversation may be edited, moved, or deleted. All SPAM comments will be deleted because they do not add value to the site.

Limit Links – We love resources as they can be really helpful sometimes, but in order to prevent SPAM and assure quality, we must limit links on the comments. Do not add more than two links in the comment. If you do so, your comment will be added for further review. DO NOT sign your comments with a backlink to your site. They will be removed.

No Personal Attack Comments Permitted – In the interest of fair play, no personal attacks are permitted in this blog’s comments. You may question or argue the content, but not attack the victim who is unable to defend themselves because they are dead. Failure to respect fellow participants on this blog could result in removal and blocked access.

All Rights Reserved – Murder Village Staff reserves the right to edit, delete, move, or mark as spam any and all comments. We also have the right to block access to any one or group from commenting or from the entire blog.

Hold Harmless – All comments within Murder Village are the responsibility of the commenter, not the editorial staff of Murder Village. By submitting a comment on our blog, you agree that the comment content is your own, and you agree to hold Murder Village, all subsidiaries of Murder Village, and all representatives of Murder Village harmless from any and all repercussions, damages, or liability.

A Special Note to Murderers – We occasionally hear from the people who have killed people. We have been threatened. We have had offers of gruesome details. Go fuck yourselves, we don’t want to hear from you.
