Submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your comments are welcome.\u00a0 All submissions become property of Noelophile\u00aeand noelophile.com upon receipt.\u00a0 Use of any submission material is at our discretion, and we do not pay for comments or guest bloggers.\u00a0 We’d love to hear your thoughts, but c’mon, we’re trying to save our pennies to buy Christmas gifts!<\/p>\n

By your submission of a post or other materials, you certify that this content is original and that you have full rights to it.\u00a0 Even Old Scrooge never plagiarized anybody!<\/p>\n

If, though we hope not, we unwittingly receive content to which you<\/em> have a right, without your knowledge (i.e., someone else was less than Christmasy, stole your intellectual property and presented it as theirs–boo, double hiss and lots of coal in THEIR stocking!<\/em>), please alert us and we will remove the content in question.<\/p>\n

Comment Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a family-oriented Christmas and community site.\u00a0 Please keep all comments respectful.\u00a0 No defaming, threatening or harassing others.\u00a0 No profanity and no spam–anything that reads like an advertisement will be thrown out faster than last year’s fruitcake.\u00a0 No personal information.\u00a0 (Comments will be viewable by others, so please don’t post anything you would consider private, such as phone numbers or other personal data.)\u00a0 Avoid politics, please, and we are not a “religious” site, although some of our guests may talk about their faith in the course of an interview.<\/p>\n

Noelophile\u00ae will not publish material of a racist, sexist, hate-oriented or otherwise derogatory nature.<\/p>\n

Disagreeing with a comment is fine.\u00a0 Being abusive is not.<\/p>\n

No impersonation of anyone in your posts.\u00a0 (Being you<\/em> really ought to be enough fun, anyway!)<\/p>\n

Post in plain text.\u00a0 It should be “Merry Christmas,” not “Xuzyz Ykfozvlxzkxz!”<\/p>\n

No posting of malicious code.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that individuals of all ages may be reading your comments.<\/p>\n

All comments will be moderated.\u00a0 (At some point, a better spam filter will be added, but for now, comments will wait for approval, prior to being posted for all to see.)<\/p>\n

Privacy Policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Noelophile\u00ae does not, and will not, sell personal information.\u00a0\u00a0 We do NOT sell photographs.\u00a0 All photographic subjects are aware that they have been photographed, and we blur faces of anyone who happens to walk into a shot in a public place, to protect the individual\u2019s privacy.\u00a0\u00a0 We will NOT feature a photograph of a child under 18, because, sadly enough, there are some sick people in the world and we want to keep the kids as safe as is humanly possible.\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019re glad to remove any photographs of you that you may feel are invasive of your privacy or your creative work, upon request.<\/p>\n

We also do not sell data obtained by your use of this site.<\/p>\n

When you visit a partner’s website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on your browser.\u00a0 (Noelophile\u00ae note: I would ask them to make it double-chocolate-chip if I could.\u00a0 But, sorry!)<\/p>\n

Additional privacy policy<\/h2>\n

Google AdSense also requests that I let you know:<\/p>\n
