Rules

GENERAL RULES: POSTING AND COMMENTING
Posts and comments made on 911blogger.com are stored forever. Material generally remains published unless it is determined to be in violation of the rules.

Be civil. There have been disagreements about what happened on 9/11/2001 since it happened. If you feel compelled to point out factual errors in a blog entry, back up your observations with linked documentation.

Calling another user a liar, disinformation agent or any of the other related terms will not be tolerated. If you believe someone is lying post the facts and let the readers decide for themselves.

Do not make this site a rallying point for competing factions to battle and waste people's time.

Do not post material that promotes hatred, racism, violence, terrorism or criminal actions.

Do not use the site to continue arguments with other users from thread to thread.

Do not post pornographic, gore, or otherwise non-work safe images or video.

Do not create multiple accounts.

When referring to other site users, use their username or an abbreviation of their username.

When re-posting an article, ALWAYS provide a link to the source. DO NOT ALTER THE COPY FROM THE SOURCE. This will result in the end of your account.

Keep your comments relevant to the blog entry. Post useful (sourced) information and commentary, not ad-hominem attacks or insults.

The moderation team reserves the right to revoke (or delay via moderation) a user's posting privileges if they determine these rules have been broken. Although warnings and explanations are often provided, this is not guaranteed. Our moderators work extremely hard at providing a fair and decent place for all users to interact, but are not always able to address every individual situation due to time constraints or the previous site history of a user. It's the user's responsibility to keep a valid email address on file, if we send you a email about a rule violation and don't receive a response within a reasonable time, your account may be put on moderation. We appreciate you respecting the moderation team's time.

Please be familiar with the FAQ: http://911blogger.com/faq

Technical guidelines for posts:

1. No URL shorteners. Please post direct links only. URL shorteners prevent the reader from knowing information about the domain they are clicking on. If you want to use a URL shortener for analytical purposes, you can instead make a perma link to the content on the same domain that hosts it and use your server logs. Posts with URL shorteners are almost guaranteed to land in blogs. We reserve the right to replace shortened URLs with the target.

2. Consider 911Blogger a wiki. If you have information to add, please check if there is a already blog which covers it and add a comment.
