Site Use

I’m no angel but there are certain things that won’t be accepted in the comments facility and that are regarded as general misuse of the site (blog).

Baggage Reclaim now operates a zero tolerance attitude towards people that misuse the site. This means that a clear misuse of the site will result in the IP address being blocked, and the misuse being reported to the ISP in question, plus anything of a serious nature will be referred to the police.

It may appear from reading the guidelines below that I take things very seriously – I don’t. However it is in the interest of all users, myself and the people that contribute, that I protect the site and users from people that seek to be malicious. This helps to maintain the good atmosphere!

Commenting Facility

I and the contributors to the blog welcome comments from readers and the facility is there to enable comment on the article in question. All comments are solely the opinions of the individuals submitting them and the publication of them on baggagereclaim.co.uk(.com) does not imply endorsement or agreement by me or the site.
1. Please be fair whilst commenting. I love a bit of banter but don’t be aggressive towards other commenter’s or the author.
2. The commenting facility is to comment about the subject of the post. If you respond to comments, stick to the subject matter.

3. Please refrain from making comments of a racist, prejudiced, or hateful nature. This is not the place to be making your views known about race, religion, skin colour or pretty much anything that can be deemed as defamatory.

4. Spam is completely unacceptable.
5. Libelous, personal information must not be published anywhere on this site, including the comments box.
6. Hostile comments should be reserved for the feedback form which are forwarded to myself (the editor and site owner) or the appropriate person.
7. It is the right of people that read this site to be able to comment freely and leave their blog address if they so wish. It is unacceptable to leave this site and go to their blog to harass them.
8. It is a clear misuse of the site when someone uses multiple guises to comment under various names.
9. I reserve the right to withdraw or keep a comment on the site and my decision is final.

10. Abuse of the commenting facility will cause your IP address blocked.
11. All comments are the property of Baggage Reclaim. You put in the system, you gave it to me. (Thanks!) I will not delete comments at anyone’s request and ultimately it is my decision to do so.
IP Addresses

IP addresses are shown in the tracking statistics which tell me how many visitors the site is getting and how many pages are being read on the site. This also means that it clearly identifies users of the site that seek to misuse.

An IP address will be monitored if there appears to be suspicious activity.
- This can be repetitive refreshing of the page
- Malicious clicking on ads or pages.
- I reserve the right to publish the IP addresses of anyone that is misuse’s the site.

Discussion Boards/Forums

There is discussion board and there are slightly different terms of use which can be found here.
