Here's some types of comments that are deleted..
- Comments that link to spammy stuff. I don't care how much you say that you love BgArt News Blog, your links to loans, viagra, cheap software, and cheap drugs will be deleted.
- Offensive comments. You can disagree with a person without being offensive or using obscene language. I'm no angel myself, but I understand that not everyone wants to hear me talk like a sailor, so I don't let the comments of sailors stay.
-
Comments with links that have nothing to do with the post. If there's a post about an exhibition and you have wrote about it, or know of a good link about that exhibition, a link is encouraged. It adds to the post and is related to it.
If you write half a sentence and then link to your site that has nothing to do with the post, it just looks like you're after a link.
It's easy to link to your site without getting your comment deleted. Just choose "Other" when you are leaving a comment, and add your name and website address (remember to include http:// at the beginning of your address or it won't link to your site properly.)
I don't have a problem with people linking to their websites, I just don't want the comments to look like a web directory.
You don't have to have a website or a blogger account to comment either, as there's an "Anonymous" option too. I find that controversial comments always seem to be made by "Anonymous", which is quite funny.
One more thing, if you have any news of interest that you think I should post on BgArt News Blog, send it to me here, rather than just posting your own press release on an unrelated post.

But, I take the opportunity to give an info on a new European website CultureInside that promotes young artists and develop several thema. Just take a look and let your comments.

Good to hear that I havent bored you away ;-) I like the look of your new blog design too.
Piotrek, I wouldnt say that your comment is spam, but I would prefer it if you left your link in your signature/name/identity. Choose "Other" when signing your name, rather than signing it with your blogger account. Then you can add your name and website address, without making the comments look like a web directory of links.
It's probably of more benefit to you as a visitor can just click on your signature and go to your website.
For example, on the post above yours, Click on "Nathalie Winberg" and you will be taken to her website.
Gila, I enjoyed the Turkish feature on CultureInside. I spent some time doing paintings of Turkey several years ago.

When you fill in "Your Web Page" on the comments form, you have to start your url with http:// otherwise people will get an error when they click on your name. If you dont add http:// it will look like this..
