Midas Oracle

How To Comment

Comments Are Open On Midas Oracle.

#1. Anyone can publish a comment. You don’t need to be registered —(but you are welcome to become a member, if you wish). Your first ever comment will be held for moderation, and approved as soon as possible. Your further comments (made with the same e-mail address) will then be published immediately.

#2. Pingbacks and trackbacks from other blogs are accepted, too. They appear along with people’s comments.

#3. A usable, visual text editor (accepting both text and HTML) is at your disposal to type your comment. However, if you wish to prepare a text in local, write your draft in a text editor (e.g., Programer’s NotePad) or a HTML editor (e.g., Kompozer), copy your draft, and then paste it in the Midas Oracle comment area.

#4. You can modify your last comment up to 7 days after your have published it. After this time, if you need to make an additional correction to your comment, ask Chris Masse by e-mail.

#5. You can receive, in your e-mail inbox, the other comments made on the blog post of interest to you. Write in your comment, check the “notify me” box, and press “submit”. (However, this will work only for people who have already one approved comment.)

#6. You can subscribe to all the comments using the (general) comment feed, or subscribe only to the comments made on one blog post using the specific comment feed published at the bottom of that blog post. (If you are a comment junkie, you are advised to subscribe to our comment feed using a PC-based feed reader (instead of a Web-based feed reader), so you can fetch our comment feed when you want. See this explainer, which will tell you more.)

#7. You can have the link to your blog or website published at the top of your comment. Once your comment is published, the Midas Oracle readers will be able to click on your link.

#8. In the hypothesis where you want to register, as soon you are registered as a post/page author, you should log in, and ask your browser to remember your username and password —just after you have personalized your password. If you prefer, you can use your OpenID to log in on Midas Oracle. (An OpenID is a unique username that lets you login to any website that accepts an OpenID.)

#9. Registered members of Midas Oracle will receive a mass e-mail once in a while —only when important circumstances warrant. (There are e-mail options on your profile page, inside the Midas Oracle system, which allows you to opt out of mass e-mails, if you really need to.)

#10. If you are a registered member of Midas Oracle, you can log in and modify the content of your profile, including the URL of your website, blog or home page.

#11. If you are a registered member of Midas Oracle, you can log in and publish your comment as a registered user —it should more convenient for you. Beware, though, that our anti-spam protection requires that your browser accepts cookies and Javascript.

#12. If you are not able to log in with your username and password, just contact Chris Masse and he will reset your password, which will do the repair.

#13. You can have your face picture published on the upper left of your contributions, if you wish. Here’s what to do if you want to enable this option. You go on the Gravatar website and upload your face pic (or whatever image). You associate it with the e-mail address you use as a registered Midas Oracle member. Each time you publish a post, a page or a comment on Midas Oracle, the readers will see your “gravatar”, at the left of your text. Smile, you’re on Midas Oracle.

#14. To upgrade your status from comment author to post/page author, contact Chris Masse.

#15. Commenters have to abide by our Code Of Conduct and our Terms Of Use. Please, no insult and no defamation —we reserve the right to delete some comments that would be out of line, and to ban some commenters.

#16. Happy blogging.
