Raven's Rides Motorcycle Blog

Here is the Raven’s Rides policy on various things.

[Your Privacy] [Your Comments] [Linking]
[Copyright] [Feeds] [Paid Reviews]

21 April 2008

Raven’s Rides is run by Linda Raven Moore, which is a pen name. It is operated under the wing of Annwn Web Creations LLC, which is also owned by Linda Raven Moore, under her legal name. Anything PayPal will appear as Annwn Web Creations LLC.

Some of the names and locations in this blog may be changed to preserve privacy.

Your Privacy

• I do not sell your email address to others. Spammers! Bah! Ptui!
• If you order a copy of A Little Twist of Texas, I may send you a postcard or letter with promotions or announcements. If you don’t want me to, please say so as you order, or contact me to be removed.
• I don’t sell your mailing address to others, either.
• You can unsubscribe from Raven Blog Update at any time by hitting reply and putting “unsubscribe” in the subject.
• Like every website in the known universe, Raven’s Rides maintains server logs which are used in aggregate form to determine traffic, patterns, and the like.
• Third party tracking in aggregate form only is in place on this website to determine its traffic, incoming links etc. It is used to determine the level of traffic which in turn determines which paid reviews I get to do here. Likewise, some paid posts have tracking images in them (it works a bit like a hit counter, so the advertiser can see how many page views the post got: in other words, you are not “followed” once you leave the site).

Your Comments

• My policy on comments is that I love to hear from folk and would love to have lots and lots of comments.
• This is a dofollow blog, which uses the Lucia’s Linky Love plugin.
• I run Akismet. Most all spam is sucked up by Akismet before it sees the light of day.
• All first-time commenters are moderated. If you don’t see your comment appear, please don’t worry and please don’t re-post. If you are legit then your comment will appear as soon as I see it.
• Don’t come here just to comment and get the link back. If you do, I will delete all your comments and prevent you from posting more. It’s rude! Become a visitor because you like the site, not because I give no-follow links!
• Either use your real name or your real nickname when you comment. Don’t use a keyword or a blog name, and don’t put links in the body of your comment unless they’re truly relevant to the comment. I will replace such names with either a name I find on your blog or a silly made-up name.
• Comments that have no bearing on the post at hand, or which are abusive, will be removed at my sole discretion.
• I will remove any comment that seems to have an ulterior motive. Seriously: if you’re here in good faith, you won’t have a problem.

• I try to reply to all comments. Sometimes, I bundle a few up into one post, especially if they are similar. Otherwise, I reply individually and you will get an email telling you what I said. Sometimes I miss one. Sorry.
• You can subscribe to comments for a particular post by checking the checkbox, and manage your subscriptions from within that same post. If you subscribe, you won’t get duplicates. My two plugins (the one that replies to the specific comment and the subscription one) are supposed to play nicely together.

Linking

Raven’s Rides believes in linky goodness. Link to this site in your blogroll or links page, contact me to tell me where to find the link, and you can expect a link back.

Exceptions:

• Link farms
• Spam and porn sites (note that I do not consider a personal site that deals with sexuality to be porn.)
• Sites promoting illegal activities, warez, and hatred.
• Sites without character, that I simply cannot recommend. They rehash what other sites do, i.e. with no original content, or have nothing but memes, or are dedicated solely to making money without giving any useful information, or are purely commercial without a glimmer of personality.

Copyright

• Product photographs in sponsored posts are copyright the company from whence they came. All other photographs are copyright Linda R. Moore unless otherwise noted.
• All articles are copyright their respective author. All static pages and the Raven’s Rides site itself are copyright Linda R. Moore.
• Link freely to any post on this site, but don’t copy and paste it to your own site (this is stealing).
• If you want to use any of my pictures, ASK FIRST and be prepared to hear “no.” Don’t just take the picture, slap up a credit, and call it good.
• Do not link directly to graphics on this site (except for the graphics I use in social networking sites).

Feeds

Atom and RSS feeds are provided for your personal viewing pleasure only.

Anyone who attempts to steal the posts’ content or syndicate it to their own site without permission will experience the wrath that only a 5′3 tall blonde biker can produce.

Paid Reviews

• I do occasional sponsored posts. I make it abundantly clear through disclosure which those posts are.
