Commenting Guidlines

Commenters on Elements are considered guests and should behave accordingly. The staff reserves the right to delete comments and suspend accounts.

Below are some guidelines that commenters are expected to follow:

  1. When citing facts, provide references or links. 
  2. Make it clear when you are expressing an opinion. Do not assert opinions as facts. 
  3. When presenting an argument, cite supporting evidence and use logical reasoning. 
  4. Treat members of the community with civility and respect. If you see disrespectful behavior, report it to the staff rather than further inflaming the situation. 
  5. Ad hominem attacks are not acceptable. If you disagree with someone, refute their statements rather than insulting them. 
  6. Do not copy and paste complete copyrighted articles without permission from the copyright holder. Limited copying under the doctrine of “fair use” is OK.
