Good English on the website

QUOTE FROM YOUR WEBSITE:
"This entire section is moderated. Don't waste our or your time with SPAM."

Is this good English?

Don't you think it should read: "....Don't waste your time or ours with SPAM."?

(just an observation from a first-time visitor....)

And not a very affirmative one. The original is fine.

Sorry for negative observation. Great website. But, serious question - can we say:

shall we go to my or your place for coffee?
do you want to take our or her car?
is it my or Maria's turn?

(shall we go to my place or yours....)
(do you want to take our car or hers)
(is it my turn or Maria's)

Would appreciate help, thanks.

Anonymousshall we go to my or your place for coffee?
do you want to take our or her car?
is it my or Maria's turn?

As long as you capitalize each sentence, they are fine.
