The main purpose of Diabetablog is to keep track of diabetes-related research developments. I do want to encourage debate on certain topics through comments on posts... but I do not want a spam-ridden free-for-all. For that reason, here is my comment policy:

• When comments are enabled on a post, I welcome respectful, on-topic debate.
• All comments will be moderated. Note, that means your comment might not be immediately available (I do have to do stuff like sleep, hope you don't mind).
• Comments that are deemed to be spam will be deleted.
• All comments will be screened by some very clever AI for spam.
• Comments that include profanity, offensive language, pornographic content, misleading language or potentially libelous content will be deleted.
• Comments that attack an individual or entity will be deleted.
• Comments that troll or harass other contributors will be deleted. Please be respectful.
• Anonymous comments will be deleted. You will be required to include an email address before posting. Please also use your real name. I am only going to accept comments from people that make an effort to identify themselves.

I reserve the right to edit or delete comments without notice. I also reserve the right to change this policy as I see fit at any time. If you want to know about GDPR and other privacy issues go here.

If you have questions about this comments policy, let me know here.

Thanks,
