All comments and posts must abide by the Company's Commenting Guidelines below.

We ask that you:

• Be Respectful.
• Weigh in with smart, informed ideas that contribute to the video/daily challenge discussion.
• Choose your words wisely. Comments with profanity used to insult, antagonize, or inflame will be deleted.
• T.H.I.N.K. before you post: is it True, Helpful, Inspirational, Necessary, and Kind?

To keep the discussions civil and substantive, we reserve the right to delete comments. Here are some of the kinds of comments that will be removed:

• Derogatory remarks 
• Promoting your own brand, product, or blog  
• Impersonating authors or other commenters
• Comments that are not related to the content. Sometimes discussions veer off a bit, but are still related to the original subject. That is fine. Hijacking the conversation to promote off-topic commentary is not.
• Threats — no matter how vague — against the author or other commenters.
• Trolling
• Personal attacks, insults, stalking, harassment, slander, and using offensive speech will not be tolerated. Offensive generalizations about groups of people will not be tolerated.

Any comments or posts that do not abide by the Commenting Guidelines may be removed. Violation of the Commenting Guidelines may also result in the removal of your ability to post or comment, or removal from the site.
