How to comment on DFPC
We welcome thoughtful and civilized discussion. The DFPC editorial team reserves the right to edit or delete comments as we see fit, without explanation.
Here's what your comment should look like:
- Add smart, relevant ideas that expand on the premise - read/watch/listen to the content before your comment
- Offer useful, constructive (not stupid or ugly) criticism
- Ask for help with understanding a topic or aspect of the article or clinical scenario
- Help answer other learners' questions
- Any combination of the above
Certain comments may not be posted or may be deleted after they are posted.
Here are some examples (not comprehensive, but you'll get the idea) of types of comments that'll ensure your failure to communicate, at least on DFPC:
- Comments that demonstrate you didn't read, watch, or listen to the content.
- Comments that simply restate or repeat information from the content and do not carry the conversation forward.
- Off-topic personal or professional rants
- Threats to other learners
- Any form of defamation
- Racist or obscene nastiness
- Comments that outright provide answers - help other learners arrive at an answer by themselves
