COMMENTS, REACTIONS, CONTRIBUTIONS OF ARTICLES AND NEWS & OTHER CONTENT

tMF wants our visitors to know that it is now our policy to follow those who made comments & to comment back! While this policy is aimed to enliven the discussion, we also reserve the right to delete comments that only aim to spam.

We want our readers to react to our post, and in return we'll return the favor! This I Follow movement is not our original concept, we were fortunate to discover this movement from one of the blogs we have visited. The movement originated from web designer and blogger Randa Clay, and here's the essentials:

Almost all blog platforms by default are set up so that a “dead end” piece of code is inserted wherever there is a link in a comment, so that search engines will not “count” the link as they are crawling the internet. This was originally designed to help stop comment spam, but it doesn’t work. What it does is remove some of the incentive for your readers contribute to your site by commenting on your posts.

What can you do about it? Turn off “nofollow”. Show your commenters that you appreciate them. Spread the link love.

Articles and reviews: All articles and reviews submitted to tMF for publication will become property of tMF, in a non-exclusive manner.

tMF SET OF STANDARDS FOR SUBMITTING CONTENT: In order for an article to be accepted for publication, it should meet the standards of tMF:

1. The article is the original work of the author. While it may include quotes and information from other sources, it is written by the author for submission to tMF.

2. The article is informative and has entertainment value and will be enjoyed by most tMF readers. While entertainment value maybe subjective, it means that readers of the article will learn something new or unique about its subject. The article may also allow the reader to better appreciate the work of an actor, screenwriter or filmmaker, as the case maybe.

3. In the case of actors’ profiles, it should contain information related to his work, including awards and other forms of recognition, news of upcoming films, other relevant information including film reviews, a small amount of personal background, trivia and tidbits, but not to the extent that such information can be construed as denoting an invasion of privacy. Sexual undertones, malicious gossip, rumors and discussion of intimate personal relationships are to be avoided;

4. In the case of film reviews, spoilers are to be avoided. Although some plot elements will be revealed in order to grant the reader a basic understanding of what the film is aobut, it is tMF policy that reviews should not reveal crucial plot elements that will spoil the entertainment value of the film for those who have not yet seen it. Profanity, obscenities and spiteful remarks are to be avoided at all cost. Criticism of other reviewers or their reviews is also to be avoided. While it maybe necessary to mention reviews, this should be limited to instances where the inclusion of the remarks serves to add to the critical analysis of the film.

5. The Editor-in-Chief is tasked to handle the quality control of articles. All articles will be subject to quality control and copy editing, but modifications are generally limited to grammatical errors and spelling. Owners of articles will be consulted if there is a need for a major revision, otherwise, changes which are made will be done as part of tMF’s commitment to maintaining a high standard quality and professionalism.

6. A major revision will be deemed to have occurred when the tone, style or other features of the article are altered to the extent that the original intent of the author is significantly modified. In this instance, authors have the right to withdraw their articles if they do not agree with the modification.

Only the Editor-in-Chief can recommend major revisions to an article. As is the practice with editors of printed publications, the editor corresponds directly with the writer and discusses any additions, deletions or revisions to any portions of the article or review.

7. If there are disputes related to the publication and/or modification of an article, it is the task of the partners and owner to make the final decision regarding publication of the article.

8. tMF accepts articles from authors in good faith, and assume that these articles are original works and that quotes, information and other details from various sources and/or other publications are duly acknowledged. Since we respect the copyright properties of other sites and publications, we also expect other sites to respect ours. Legal action will be initiated if original articles are copied by other sites and/or publications without the prior written approval from the tMF owner.
