Comments Policy

Welcome to the comments section of the YourGoodNews blog. We value our community’s participation and encourage constructive and respectful discussions. To ensure a healthy and productive environment for everyone, we have established the following guidelines.

By posting a comment on our blog, you agree to abide by this policy.

1. Respect and Civility

  • Be Kind and Courteous: All comments must be respectful and free of personal attacks, hate speech, harassment, defamation, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic.
  • No Trolling: Deliberately provocative or offensive comments designed to upset others or derail conversations (“trolling”) will not be tolerated.

2. Relevance and Value

  • Stay on Topic: Please keep your comments relevant to the specific post you are commenting on.
  • No Spam or Self-Promotion: Avoid irrelevant messages, commercial spam, excessive linking, or excessive self-promotion. Comments that consist primarily of a link without valuable context will be removed.

3. Language and Formatting

  • Use Clear Language: Communicate clearly and respectfully.
  • Avoid ALL CAPS: Excessive use of capital letters (which is seen as shouting online) and text formatting that is hard to read may lead to your comment being removed.
  • No Profanity: The use of swear words, obscenities, or vulgar language is not permitted.

4. Moderation and Approval

  • Pre-Moderation: All comments are subject to review before they are published on the site. This helps us maintain a high-quality discussion.
  • Right to Modify: We reserve the right to edit, reject, or remove any comment that violates this policy without prior notice. Users who repeatedly violate these rules may be blocked from commenting in the future.

5. User Responsibility

  • Your Words: You are solely responsible for the content you post in the comments.
  • Opinion Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in the comments are those of the commenters alone and do not reflect the views of YourGoodNews.
  • License to Use: By posting a comment, you grant YourGoodNews a non-exclusive, perpetual license to display, modify, or delete that comment on our platform.

6. Privacy and Personal Data

  • Protect Privacy: For your own safety and the safety of others, do not post personal information—yours or anyone else’s—such as addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses, in the comments.

7. Copyright

  • Respect Intellectual Property: Ensure your comments do not violate copyright or the intellectual property rights of others. Do not post copyrighted material without explicit permission.

8. Consequences of Non-Compliance

Comments that do not comply with this policy will be removed. Users who consistently ignore these guidelines may be permanently banned from the comment section. Our goal is to maintain a safe and welcoming space for all our readers.
