Due to some recent issues with comments on the main site (and mainly me having to deal with patent idiots regularly by having to approve their comments), I’ve decided to enact a new comment policy. These rules are here to keep Well Cultured a place of quality and interesting discussion- not to limit your freedom to complain- so there will be little lenience with this policy.
- Your comment can and will be removed. In general, our policy is to allow comments that even disagree with us if they provide interesting and/or substantive arguments. “I wear them/it all the time” is not a substantive argument, nor is “(Author) is just a faggot who wears nothing but retard clothing” (both of which we’ve gotten before). You do not have a “right” to post. If you want to give examples of good fashion in your own terms, write an article, we will post it.
- Flaming is forbidden. We are all quite honestly tired of the token idiot posting something like “you all are just a bunch of white kids” or something of that nature. Ad Hominem attacks are not needed on this website in any way, shape, or form. If you want to make a counterpoint, develop a good argument, don’t attack people.
- Challenging the site is forbidden. We don’t need to hear arguments like “just wear what u want it doesnt matter wut ppl think”. Historically, fashion has been incredibly important. Health, obviously, is incredibly important. Sex and Dating is something that is of human nature, and most of us would contend it is important. Furthermore, saying things like “trying to learn _____ with a guide is stupid” is foolish: you have been formally or informally listening to people since you were born.
- Advertising is forbidden. Do NOT under any circumstances try to pull one of those “lol I crossposted you on my blog” tricks. If it is a legitimate reference, that’s fine- if it’s just you trying to get a chunk of our readerbase, it’s not going to work.
- Girlposting is fine, white knighting is forbidden. No, I will not give you the e-mail address she put in the comment form, nor will I put up with “hurr she’s right because she is a girl”.
- Rule 1 applies here for the sake of keeping us “respectable”. ’nuff said.
All in all, the idea here is that if your idea of coming here is to be a douche, we will remove you- generally, if you are here to try to undermine the concept of Well Cultured itself or somehow insult authors/readers, we will not put up with you. Stick to the arguments at hand- if you like the opinions or not and why you do or do not- not just how much you hate the author/site and how you could do better.
Of course, if you can do better, contact us. We will put your articles online if they are well written and of some value (actually thought out), even if they contradict everything we say.
