We have some comment issues. It seems that it’s difficult for people to leave a comment. The site manager is trying to deal with it. I’m sure all will be ok in a short while.
UPDATE: I can leave comments, so can other people like Pieter Dorsman. If anyone is still experiencing problems let us know (e-mail Dustin - for address, see right sidebar).
PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.

Hey, what about a html tag buttons, I hate having to type”" every time.
A previous comment did seem to dissaper(sp) from an earlier post. It was in the Bolton NIE post towards the end of the comment thread, is there a comments limit(quanity). Or it a matter of quality?
You got your wish Rudi, I’ve installed a WYSIWYG editor interface for the comments so now you shouldn’t have to type out the formatting as much. I’m working on adding things like blockquote support as well, just give me a ‘bit of time ;). If there are any other tags you’d like to see supported please let me know at poligazette.manager@gmail.com.
Also, as far as I know you don’t have any comments awaiting moderation and I didn’t delete any… so we’ll have to look into it.
Rudi: I’m afraid that’s the new and improved system. It deleted stupid comments automatically.
J/k
Dustin: yes, please add the button. I like it actually. It feels like how we’re writing posts. Very handy.
