We encourage thoughtful discussion, respectful debate, and passionate takes on games, movies, tech, and everything in between. To ensure a safe, inclusive, and engaging space for all, we ask that you follow these community guidelines when commenting:
-
Be respectful: Treat others with kindness. Harassment, personal attacks, hate speech, or discriminatory remarks based on race, gender, identity, sexuality, or beliefs will not be tolerated.
-
Stay on topic: Keep your comments relevant to the article or content. Off-topic discussions, thread derailment, or posting unrelated material will be removed.
-
Constructive criticism is welcome: Differing opinions and critiques are encouraged—just keep it respectful and on point.
-
No spoilers without warning: Want to talk about major plot twists? Please include a clear spoiler warning and use line breaks or spacing so others can avoid it.
-
No spam or excessive self-promotion: Repetitive, irrelevant, or promotional comments (including links to unrelated content) will be deleted.
-
Trolling and flame-baiting won’t fly: Comments designed to provoke, antagonize, or stir up conflict will be removed.
-
Profanity in moderation: Occasional strong language is fine, but excessive swearing or vulgarity may be moderated.
-
Use your own voice: Share your thoughts authentically. Don’t copy and paste entire articles, plagiarized content, or use AI-generated comments without context.
-
Respect our writers and creators: You’re welcome to disagree with opinions, but personal insults directed at our staff or contributors won’t be tolerated.
-
No impersonation: Pretending to be another user, a public figure, or a member of our team will result in removal and possible banning.
-
One account per person: Don’t create multiple accounts to argue, spam, or manipulate discussions. It’s not a good look.
-
Moderation discretion applies: Our moderation team reserves the right to remove comments that violate these guidelines or disrupt the community. Repeat offenders may be banned without warning.
-
See something wrong? Report it: If you come across a comment that breaks the rules, please flag it or contact us so we can take appropriate action.
