    What do you mean, free invites? I don't know where this is going, but I'm already not sure I like it.

    First, it was the ability for Facebook members to comment within Jalopnik, now it's free invites to everyone who breathes. Oh well, I guess there is no "exclusive" blogs anymore.

    Does commenting on the "You're not a commenter" post create a meta-vortex?

    Oh Em Gee.


    As a tragic olde Englishman who has only just got the hand of his crystal radio reciever, and for whom Metric remains "futuristic", I shall stay jaloping in the old fashioned, coin-operated way.


    Facebook is way too complimacated for me, I hardly ever use it.

    @dieman: The way things are going, it won't be around long enough for it to matter.


    Remember folks....your neighbo(u)rhood Jalopnik Communist Party Office encourages you to tattle on poor Facebook comments. I can't monitor everything all the time (10-month-old Peugeot rants aside), but my email follows me on my phone everywhere I go.

    You know who else had a system of tattling on your neighbour like this? Yeah, the Communists. And they... oh... wait... you already referenced them.


    Never mind, carry on, Comrade.

    I can't say I am a fan of this. I'm not sure what the rationale is behind this grouping, but now any yahoo with a Facebook can say any incoherent babbling that comes to their mind? When this place gets flooded with random asshattery from Facebook I know you can ban people, but doesn't that put more work on you higher ups? Do the pros really outweigh the cons?


    (Seeing as I'm a long time reader but new commenter, I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes or piss in anyone's Cheerios. I'm just curious).

    @BTLFED: You have to remember, on the Jalopnik editorial team, we have virtually no professionals, but a whole lot of convicts, so it was a losing battle to begin with. Like this can make it any worse.

    @Deartháir and his eight little drained beers: Yes, but having convicts and lunatics (such as myself) on here having entertaining banter and having half retarded kids belting out ridiculous comments like "FUK THAT! MY JDM INTEGRA LS TYPE R CAN BEAT DAT LAMBO y0 N I DINT SPEND HALF DA MONIES HE DID" are two different things in my opinion. And if I saw such senseless posting I would feel the need to retaliate and textually abuse them to make them realize what failures to life they are, making them cry at their keyboards and which would lead to me pissing off someone more important that I am and I would get banned and I would be very upset.


    I'll just have to tell myself to "remove your fingers from the keyboard" if I see any of that to keep that from happening. I really like it here.

    @BTLFED: I'm sure it'll all be fine. We have an internal self-regulation mechanism in Jalopnik, called Scorn™, which keeps those yahoos from posting more than once.


    Well, except Layabout. He still does it all the time.

    @BTLFED: It puts more work on me, but I'm no higher-up, that's for sure. The only things I outrank on the masthead are the Twitter feed and the Facebook group.

    I waited to get a Facespace account for a while, because I'm basically a 60 year old man trapped in a youth's body. And I'm not hip. At all.

    1) Be interesting - Nobody is interested in whether you think that MOPAR SUX or MUSTANGS RULE.


    While those opinions are perfectly acceptable, before being allowed to submit comments such as those, you will be required to submit a minimum 25-page, single-spaced (and don't try and fuck with the margins, mister) dissertation expanding upon your beliefs on the topic, which will be graded for style, substance, technical merit, creativity of prose, and number of times you can work in the word, "obloquy", preferably in reference to Matt Hardigree. Forward it to Ray, he loves marking those things.


    2) Be nice - Healthy debate is fun, name-calling is not. -isms and -phobias are not welcome here.


    Didorosiphobia is still perfectly acceptable, however.


    3) Be coherent - While nobody expects you to follow the NY Times Style Guide while commenting on a blog, your comments should at least make sense to the readers. I shouldn't even need to say it, but CAPS LOCK is a one-way ticket to Bansville.


    Fortunately, almost anything will make sense to some of our readers. For further information, please reference: Deartháir; graverobber; POLAR.
