1 – Comments on posts about specific puzzles must be related to the puzzle under discussion. An off-topic comment will be moved to General Crossword Discussion or General Chat, if appropriate, otherwise it will be dispatched to Tartarus.  An off-topic remark in a comment that is mostly on-topic will be silently deleted. Persistent offenders of this rule will have all their comments moderated or, in extreme cases, they will have all their comments blocked.

2 – For general discussion about crosswords, and general chat about anything at all, please use the relevant posts in the Chat Room.

3 – Aggressive, insulting or inflammatory comments on any post will be silently deleted. Persistent offenders of this rule will have all their comments moderated or, in extreme cases,  they will have all their comments blocked.

4 – Anyone found to be using multiple identities without a valid reason will have all future comments blocked.
