Commenting Policy
MLBTR is increasing efforts to enforce our commenting policy. The goal is to raise the level of discourse in the comments, part of which involves eliminating inappropriate language and insults.
Comments of this nature are not allowed:
- Attacks or insults towards other commenters, the post author, journalists, teams, players, or agents.
- Inappropriate language, including swearing and related censor bypass attempts, lewdness, insults, and crude terms for body parts, bodily functions, and physical acts. Overall, we don’t want any language that a parent would not want their kid to see.
- Juvenile comments or extensive use of text message-type spelling
- Writing comments in all or mostly caps
- Spam-type links or self-promotion. Please submit to our weekly Baseball Blogs Weigh In feature if you have a website or blog. Currently, permissible links in the comments are limited to MLB.com, Cot’s Baseball Contracts, FanGraphs, Baseball-Reference, Baseball Prospectus, Baseball America, and MLB Trade Rumors. Comments linking to other sites will be deleted.
- Comments about how you're sick of this topic or it's not newsworthy
- No inappropriate avatars or images are allowed
- Please limit comments to approximately 200 words
- Anything else we deem bad for business may be removed.
- Corrections for errors made in our posts are welcome and appreciated; please be cordial in doing so.
If you see comments that violate our policy, please flag them and/or contact us. Bans may be handed out liberally by our moderators, without second chances or warnings. Remaining civil is not that difficult, though, and most commenters have no problems doing so as well as helping rein each other in. We at MLBTR are grateful for long-time commenters and readers, though this policy applies equally regardless of tenure. This policy is always available at the bottom of the site, and will be re-posted monthly.

Commenting Policy
I'm not a huge fan of policing the comments, but I know it comes with the territory. I try to browse as many comments as I can. When I see something that violates any of the below items, I typically delete every comment the person ever made and ban them from commenting. This is so I don't have to waste additional time bothering with the same person. Our moderators operate in a similar fashion.
Comments of this nature are not allowed:
- Attacks/insults towards other commenters, the post author, journalists, teams, or players
- Inappropriate language
- Juvenile comments or extensive use of text message-type spelling
- Spam-type links or self-promotion (try Baseball Blogs Weigh In if you have a website)
- Comments about how you're sick of this topic or it's not newsworthy
- Writing comments in all or mostly caps
- Anything else I deem bad for business
That pretty much covers it. Don't do that stuff, and you're good. Just be respectful to everyone and act like an adult. If you see comments that fit the above criteria, please contact us.
