Policies

Here are the WoPSR​.net site poli­cies. Read them well. All vis­i­tors to this site are assumed to have read them.

Pri­vacy Policy

This site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics to col­lect sta­tis­tics on vis­i­tors. For details on what infor­ma­tion is col­lected and how it is used, please see the Google Ana­lyt­ics web­site. Infor­ma­tion may be used to report or black­list vis­i­tors who do not choose to play by the rules. Email addresses of com­menters will not be used except as needed by the Seneschal of Com­ments to admin­is­ter the com­ments. Every effort will be made to pro­tect email addresses appear­ing on this site from scrap­ing. Accord­ingly, please do not post any email addresses in the com­ments. If you have any con­cerns, please email the Steward.

The Flash™ appli­ca­tions on this site make use of var­i­ous scripts which access sys­tem vari­ables. These appli­ca­tions are run on the client com­puter, and no data is passed back to the Inter­web from the Flash™ appli­ca­tions. There is one excep­tion. The Astro­labe appli­ca­tion col­lects the visitor’s IP address and sub­mits it to an open source data­base for geo­graphic coor­di­nate lookup. The coor­di­nates are then passed back to the Flash™ appli­ca­tion on the client com­puter for use in run­ning the appli­ca­tion. For details, see the Astro­labe entry on the Clocks page.

Con­tent Policy

All con­tent is orig­i­nal unless oth­er­wise noted. Links to sources will be pro­vided where pos­si­ble. Unless clearly infring­ing, mate­r­ial hosted by other sites (includ­ing the YouTube™) and ref­er­enced or linked to herein is assumed to be hosted com­pat­i­bly with copy­right. Every effort has been made to ensure that copy­righted or trade­marked mate­r­ial has been marked as such. If you are a copy­right or trade­mark holder and believe any con­tent here infringes on your legal rights, please send a mes­sage to the Cham­ber­lain of Con­tent. The Cham­ber­lain will hap­pily work with you to rem­edy any conflict.

The opin­ions expressed on this site are not to be con­strued as affil­i­ated with or endorsed by any per­son entity men­tioned in or linked from this site.

Orig­i­nal con­tent of this site is pro­tected under the laws of the United States and other coun­tries. It may not be dupli­cated with­out writ­ten per­mis­sion, except as where per­mit­ted by law. Con­tact the Cham­ber­lain for per­mis­sion. If you wish to quote to the orig­i­nal con­tent of this site, please be cour­te­ous and pro­vide your read­ers with a link back to the orig­i­nal post. See the link­ing pol­icy below.

There are sev­eral Flash™ appli­ca­tions of orig­i­nal design on this site. Under no cir­cum­stances are these appli­ca­tions to be copied for any other pur­pose than the nec­es­sary and usual copy­ing required for view­ing them at this site. They may not be incor­po­rated into any other site, either by copy­ing or by link­ing directly to the copy resid­ing on the server for this site. Do not link directly to the Flash™ appli­ca­tion (.swf file) under any cir­cum­stances. Link to the appro­pri­ate page or post. Vio­la­tors will be banned, black­listed, reported to the rel­e­vant par­ties, and pos­si­bly pros­e­cuted. Just don’t do it.

Com­ment Policy

Com­ments are wel­comed, but only at the indul­gence of the Seneschal of Com­ments. The Seneschal reserves the right to edit or delete com­ments with or with­out notice to the com­menter. A valid email address is required to post com­ments. The Seneschal may hold any and all com­ments for approval prior to post­ing. Do not post obnox­ious, defam­a­tory, base, juve­nile, vapid, overly sex­ual or sug­ges­tive, or imper­ti­nent com­ments, or com­ments with adver­tise­men­tal, priv­i­leged, or infring­ing con­tent. Canned meats of any vari­ety are strictly for­bid­den. Vio­la­tors will be black­listed and reported to the rel­e­vant par­ties. Please direct ques­tions or con­cerns to the Seneschal.

Link­ing Policy

Links to the main page are expressly autho­rized. Direct links to indi­vid­ual posts are autho­rized if they are used in con­junc­tion with dis­cus­sions of the same or a sim­i­lar topic. The Major­domo of Links would appre­ci­ate being noti­fied of your links to this site, but this is entirely optional. The Major­domo will set up a track­back fea­ture in the near future to facil­i­tate such notices.

Blogroll Pol­icy

The blogroll con­tains links to blogs that I read. Blogs linked in the blogroll are not specif­i­cally endorsed on any par­tic­u­lar posi­tion, but are gen­er­ally endorsed as intel­li­gent and well-​​authored. To be eli­gi­ble for link­ing from the blogroll, a blog must have an active, func­tion­ing RSS feed that accu­rately indi­cates when the blog was last updated. The blogroll is sorted accord­ing to most recent update. Blogs with­out qual­i­fy­ing feeds and other links that are not to blogs will appear alpha­bet­i­cally under the head­ing, “Other Links.” If your blog or site is linked in the per­ma­nent links and you would like the link removed, please send an email to the Major­domo of Links and it will be removed posthaste. The Major­domo will eval­u­ate requests for delink­ing of sites ref­er­enced in the con­tent of posts on a case-​​by-​​case basis.

    FTC Dis­clo­sure

    The Fed­eral Trade Com­mis­sion reg­u­lates prod­uct endorse­ments by blog­gers. Under the FTC’s revised rules, any blog post where the writer received com­pen­sa­tion, in cash or oth­er­wise, to review a prod­uct is con­sid­ered an endorse­ment. Blog­gers mak­ing endorse­ments must dis­close all mate­r­ial con­nec­tions with the seller of the endorsed prod­uct. Unless oth­er­wise stated in the body of the text of a post, there are no mate­r­ial con­nec­tions between the writer of the post and the seller of any prod­uct men­tioned in the post beyond the ordi­nary con­sumer rela­tion­ship. Writ­ers shall not append each post dis­cussing a prod­uct with a “no mate­r­ial con­nec­tions” disclaimer.
