Stay On Topic
- Ensure your comments relate to the topic of the article or post. Irrelevant or off-topic comments may be removed.
Avoid Spam
- Do not post spam, repetitive content, or promotional material. Comments designed to solicit business or promote products and services are not allowed.
No Misinformation

Mind Your Language
