Comment Policy
Here at Sidepodcast, we welcome all kinds of comments, especially those that disagree with us and make us think. But any good site needs to have a couple of ground-rules, just to make sure that we don’t get sued. You know what the FIA is like.
It would be much appreciated if you could read the following and take it on board before posting your thoughts, although I would imagine most of you know them like the back of your hand anyway:
- Comments need to be in English, although I can understand some French.
- No spam – although our handy spam-catcher takes most of the work out of that little problem.
- No personal diatribes, on anybody using the site, in the world of F1, or in fact anyone else at all. Trust me, there is plenty I could say about some people. But I won’t, because it doesn’t add anything to the flow of conversation.
- Comments should ideally be on the topic of F1. The Daily posts exist to provide space for other chatter (just as important), but for other blog entries, staying on topic is helpful.
- Please try and keep strong language to a minimum. It’s a family show after all.
- We are not in control of the spam filter. If your comment goes into moderation, please sit tight. We check the spam bin on a regular basis, and will pull any legitimate comments out.
- As it’s our site, we do reserve the right to edit or delete your comments, but this is most unlikely. If you’re sticking to the guidelines above, and posting sensible comments, you’ll be fine. We would never take down a comment just for disagreeing with us, hell, that’s what we live for!

Is this new? I think I frequently fail on #4 :doh:

It’s not new, probably written soon after we started. I updated it when the daily posts started (Oct last year I think), but I may have underestimated where the conversations were going

In fact, having just gone in to edit a terrible grammatical error, I have found it was first published in Dec 07, updated in Jan 09 and now again before Bassano sees it.
