Comments Policy

Why hasn't my comment appeared?

All blogs on Brunel's website are pre-moderated, which means that although anyone can submit comments to the blog, the comment won't appear until they have been approved by a moderator (usually the editor of the blog).

What are the House Rules?

We reserve the right to not publish comments that...

• Are considered likely to disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others
• Are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable
• Contain swear words or other language likely to offend
• Break the law or condone or encourage unlawful activity. This includes breach of copyright, defamation and contempt of court.
• Advertise products or services for profit or gain
• Are seen to impersonate someone else
• Include contact details such as phone numbers, postal or email addresses
• Contain links to other websites which break our Editorial Guidelines
• Describe or encourage activities which could endanger the safety or well-being of others
• Are considered to be "spam", that is posts containing the same, or similar, content posted multiple times
• Are considered to be off-topic for the blog discussion

At the Brunel, we allow as much freedom as possible to have relevant discussions on our blogs. However, we are also responsible for making sure that these discussions stay polite, safe and relevant and do not violate any laws or the Brunel editorial policies. This is why we have a set of House Rules that we ask everyone to follow.
