Æðµã´«Ã½

Æðµã´«Ã½ encourages comments and opinions from visitors of our websites and Æðµã´«Ã½’s social media communities. Constructive criticism and healthy debate are welcome, as long as they do not stray off-topic, are appropriate in nature and are beneficial to other readers.

On Æðµã´«Ã½-managed social media communities such as Facebook and LinkedIn, any comments that violate the Æðµã´«Ã½ policy will be removed after they are posted. Currently, all comments on Æðµã´«Ã½ websites enter an approval queue for review by Æðµã´«Ã½ before being posted on the websites. No anonymous comments will be posted.

Relevant and appropriate comments will be posted, but comments that are inappropriate will be removed from the Æðµã´«Ã½ website, affiliated sites, and associated social media groups. Such comments include:

• Advertisements, promotions or solicitations (including posts we feel are SPAM)
• Language that is degrading based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality or disability; profanity and obscenity, including sexually explicit language; and threatening, harassing, defamatory or libelous material and language
• Material that infringes the copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property of any party
• Information that violates someone’s reasonable expectation of privacy
• Information you know to be confidential, sensitive or otherwise unlawful
• Impersonation of anyone else
• Intentionally false or misleading statements including, but not limited to, fake positive reviews, fake negative reviews of competitors or bogus blog postings
• Uses of the name or likeness or a third party for commercial purposes
• Comments that are irrelevant to the nature of the article or discussion thread.

All comments are the property of Æðµã´«Ã½ and may be used, at its discretion, by the Æðµã´«Ã½ for promotional or educational purposes. Æðµã´«Ã½ will not knowingly post content to an associated social media group that violates any rule or policy of that site, i.e., Facebook policies. Nevertheless, the Æðµã´«Ã½ is not responsible for any actions resulting from the posting of a reader-submitted comment either on its websites or social media accounts.

Æðµã´«Ã½’s employment of Æðµã´«Ã½-owned trademarks in conjunction with your comment or posting does not grant you any rights in or to Æðµã´«Ã½’s intellectual property.
