11.1.1 Moderation: Our moderators will view all comments before appearing on this Website. Our moderators will assess the comments solely on the basis of the rules outlined in these Conditions. If they believe that the comment exceeds the boundaries outlined here, the comment will be deleted and will not appear. If a comment includes unacceptable elements, we reserve the right to delete the entire comment. The decision of our moderators is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

11.1.2 No Responses to Comments: We will not respond to comments posted on this Website. If you require a response, please complete the ‘contact us’ section of this Website.

11.1.3 Criteria for Judging Comments: Criteria which our moderators judge comments on include, but are not limited to, defamatory, libel, racism, sexism, sectarianism, obscenity, threatening language, impersonation, or expressing support for a proscribed organisation.

11.1.4 Use of Real Names: We would ask that you use your real name on comments wherever possible. This helps to add to the mature and constructive debate on the Website. If for any reason you decide to use a pseudonym, we ask that you choose a name that is not offensive in any way and adheres to the boundaries outlined above.

11.1.5 Language and Standards: Please do not use swear words in your comments. Please try to ensure spelling, punctuation, and grammar in your comments are of a suitable standard. Due to the substantial number of comments we receive, our moderators do not have the time to correct your spelling.
