It is Crikey policy that discussion at all Crikey blogs should fall within the guidelines developed for Guardian Online. Crikey reckons they couldn’t have said it better. The Pure Poison team would also like to set one simple guideline for all of us to follow at this site:
Play the ball and not the person; low-level snark is fine but derogatory statements about a person’s character are not.
Any comments that the Pure Poison team deems to be unacceptable will be deleted or edited as soon as they are detected. Repeat offenders will be placed on moderation, and chronic offenders will be banned.
We welcome robust debate but there needs to be a limit to what is acceptable.
