All comments are subject to these Terms of Use and any commenter in violation of this policy may be banned at our sole discretion.

Official Roshan Khadye Comment Policy

When deciding to comment, please keep in mind the famous words of the great philosopher Aretha Franklin:

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

We welcome open discussion and disagreement in comments, but rude or personally attacking comments will be deleted. Think of it this way: when you join the discussion on one of Roshan Khadye’s articles here at www.roshankhadye.com, it is like stepping into our premises. We’re glad to have you here and always enjoy good conversation with friends, but if you start acting like a jerk by name calling, insulting other people, or promoting your product or service, we will ask you to leave. Period. My blog, my rules.

Comments Guidelines:

  1. Comments that don’t contribute to the conversation, are obviously spam, promotional in nature, or intended for back-link purposes will be deleted and the author banned from future commenting ability.
  2. Please use your REAL first name and email address. Do not use a business name, blog name, nickname, initials, or any other fake name when commenting. Failure to do so will cause your comment to be marked as spam, deleted, or edited to conform to these guidelines and your comment will NOT be replied to.
  3. Please do not put your personal blog or business website URL in the comment text unless it directly contributes to the comment and/or the conversation taking place, as it will cause your comment to be marked as spam and most likely deleted, or edited to conform to these guidelines. Do not add a website name or URL as your signature, as it will be deleted. If you’ve never left a comment before and your first one includes a link, it will most likely be deleted automatically by the spam filter.
  4. Please use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and letter casing when commenting. Occasional unintentional mistakes happen (I’m guilty of it too!), but for the sake of comprehension, readability and clear dialog, please make a sincere effort to follow basic English writing decorum. Comments which are unintelligible and/or don’t follow this policy will be edited or deleted to meet these guidelines.
  5. Before asking a question in the comments, please read through all of the post’s prior comments to see if your question has already been asked by another reader and answered. If the same or similar question was previously answered, your comment will most likely not be responded to.
  6. In accordance with the Terms Of Use and Privacy Policy, please assume that any comment you post on www.roshankhadye.com is being posted publicly. By posting a comment on this website or in associated web forums you are giving Roshan Khadye an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise use your comment in any way that I see fit.

Comments containing links are automatically held in moderation.
