Once you've gone through and the text is generated, I'd suggest tweaking it to fit your particular style/blog/whatever. It's only intended to be a beginning. It would also be cool for you to leave comments in their forums about what specific tweaks you made to get it to fit your blog, just as a way for others to get some ideas. I'd just delete the references to paid posts and leave the advertising part in there. You shouldn't view the result from the generator tool as the be-all and end-all -- just a beginning for you to shape into something that works for you. DnW Hi Rayne,

I dont see any options in the policy generator which suit my blog. am i missing something? or is disclosurepolicy.org not for me? i just checked the disclosurepolicy website.

The answer to your question is, you don't have to be deceptive, you can stuff your guidelines under your pillow when you sleep at night knowing you have just put the wrong idea in a million lower than you if possible idiot’s heads, who will exploit your business method until it reaches the lowest common denominator just like any idea or concept that holds any value on this effing planet. Drunk on koolaid 2.0--you couldn't think of anything that would add to the conversation and so now you've just tainted the quality of every conversation on the web. Don't act like what you've done is bright either, you no more than an extension to fake forum dwellers who get paid. Big whooptie. You are the type of person who makes things trendy, not because you bring it in, but because you escort people out the door. What netscape has created is more evil than what Microsoft has done to them. For the sake of boneheaded argument, I’ll take the easy route.

More to the point, you HAVE been given exactly what you asked for -- disclosure and a policy for disclosure. So why aren't you joining the conversation? I won't lose sleep either. AND I can look myself in the mirror in the morning, something I'd have trouble doing if I were using whatever clout I had to stomp on folks less fortunate than myself.
