Blog housekeeping

One of the advantages NewsCut has had over other blogs is the quality of the comments. They add value to the dissection of news.

Of late, however, I’ve noticed a general decline in some of the value and this usually goes hand in hand with people using fake names and fake e-mail addresses.

So, it’s time to enforce an important — if often ignored — paragraph in the Terms of Use.

You may not post any messages misrepresenting yourself as someone else, or by using a false e-mail address. In MPR and APM forums and content contributions, you must post under your own username, and are responsible for all posts from your account.

When making a comment, please be sure to provide a real name and a real verifiable e-mail address.
