I realize that most of this site’s traffic comes from either a) people I know or b) Korean people who just want to pay their bills, but after watching the debacle at BoingBoing regarding unpublished posts, edited comments and standards of accountability (and posting a little bit in the fast-approaching-conversational-singularity thread at MeFi), I figured it would be a good idea to crank out some sitewide, privacy and comment policies, both heavily inspired by John Scalzi’s. Here they are.
