This Comments & Moderation Policy defines the rules and conditions under which user comments are permitted on Worldys News. By posting a comment, you agree to comply with this policy and understand that comments may be removed or restricted at our discretion.

1. Purpose of the Comment Section

The comment space exists to enable civil, factual, and relevant discussion. It is not a public forum without limits. Comments are a moderated extension of our platform, not a right of publication.

2. Moderation Authority

Worldys News reserves the right to monitor, edit, restrict, or remove any comment at any time without notice or obligation to justify the decision. Repeated violations may result in permanent blocking.

3. Prohibited Content

The following are strictly not allowed in comments:

• Hate speech, harassment, threats, or targeted abuse
• Defamation or unverified allegations presented as fact
• Spam, commercials, self-promotion, or political campaigning
• Disinformation, conspiracy content, or fabricated claims
• Publishing private data (doxxing), medical records, or legal material
• Obscenity, intimidation, or incitement to violence or crime

4. Language, Relevance, and Respect

Comments must remain relevant to the article and written in respectful, non-abusive language. Irrelevant or disruptive commentary may be removed.

5. Data and Identification

Commenting requires submission of a name and email address. IP addresses are logged for moderation and security purposes, as disclosed in our Privacy Policy. Anonymous or masked identities do not remove accountability.

6. No Expectation of Publication

Submitting a comment does not guarantee visibility. Moderators may hold comments for review, refuse publication, or remove them after posting.

7. Use of Comments in Editorial Review

Comments do not constitute journalistic sources. However, serious factual claims made in comments may be reviewed for potential follow-up under the Fact-Checking Policy.

8. Legal Responsibility of Commenters

Comment authors are legally responsible for their statements. Worldys News may cooperate with lawful requests regarding abusive, criminal, or defamatory postings.

9. Appeals

Removal decisions are not subject to appeal. Moderation actions are final and not negotiable.
