Geeky Gadgets Comment Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

At Geeky Gadgets, we welcome comments, opinions, and discussions from our readers. Our aim is to provide a friendly, informative, and respectful environment where technology enthusiasts can share their views, ask questions, and discuss the latest news, products, and developments.

We encourage healthy debate and differing opinions. However, to maintain a positive experience for everyone, all comments must follow the guidelines outlined below.

1. Be Respectful

We encourage constructive discussions and welcome different viewpoints, including criticism of products, companies, and the articles we publish.

However, we do not permit:

Personal attacks, bullying, harassment, or intimidation.
Abusive, threatening, or deliberately offensive language.
Hate speech or discriminatory comments targeting individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.
Sexually explicit, obscene, or excessively vulgar content.
Comments intended primarily to provoke, insult, or disrupt discussions.

Disagreements are welcome, but please focus on the topic rather than attacking other commenters.

2. No Spam or Unauthorised Advertising

Comments must not be used for unsolicited advertising, promotional activity or spam.

This includes:

Advertising products, services or websites without permission.
Posting affiliate links, referral links or promotional codes.
Repeatedly posting identical or substantially similar comments.
Posting misleading links, phishing attempts, or malicious content.
Using automated systems or bots to submit unwanted comments.

Comments containing links may be held for moderator approval or removed.

3. Keep Comments Relevant

We ask readers to keep discussions relevant to the article or topic being discussed.

Off-topic comments, repetitive arguments, deliberately misleading information, and attempts to derail conversations may be removed.

We welcome thoughtful criticism and differing opinions, provided they are expressed respectfully.

4. Offensive Language and Restricted Words

Geeky Gadgets uses automated moderation tools to identify comments containing profanity, offensive language, discriminatory terms, and other restricted words or phrases.

Comments matching our moderation filters may be automatically deleted without being published.

We recognise that automated moderation systems are not perfect and may occasionally flag comments that were not intended to be offensive.

If you believe your comment has been removed in error, you may contact us to request a review.

5. Threats, Illegal Content and Personal Information

We do not permit comments that:

Contain threats of violence or encourage illegal activity.
Promote hatred, violence or harassment.
Share another person’s private information without permission.
Impersonate another individual, organisation or Geeky Gadgets representative.
Infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights.
Contain malicious software, fraudulent links or other harmful material.

Serious threats or potentially unlawful content may be reported to the appropriate authorities where necessary.

6. Comment Moderation and Removal

Geeky Gadgets reserves the right to moderate, hide, reject or delete comments that violate this policy or otherwise undermine the quality and safety of discussions on our website.

Moderation may be carried out automatically through Disqus or manually by our editorial team.

We may remove comments without prior notice and are not obliged to publish, retain, or respond to any particular comment.

Repeated or serious violations may result in users being blocked or banned from commenting.

We are not obliged to provide an individual explanation for every moderation decision.

7. Commenting on Older Articles

To maintain relevant discussions and reduce spam, Geeky Gadgets may automatically close comments on articles after a specified period.

Once comments are closed, existing discussions may remain visible, but new comments will no longer be accepted.

We also reserve the right to review and remove historical comments that do not comply with our current Comment Policy.

8. Responsibility for Comments

Comments represent the opinions of their respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Geeky Gadgets, its editors or contributors.

Commenters are responsible for the content they submit.

Geeky Gadgets does not endorse or verify every statement made in user comments.

We encourage readers to report comments they believe violate this policy.

9. Third-Party Commenting Platform

Geeky Gadgets uses Disqus to provide and manage its commenting system.

By participating in discussions, users may also be subject to the applicable Disqus terms, policies, and privacy practices.

For further information, please visit the Disqus website.

10. Changes to This Policy

Geeky Gadgets may update this Comment Policy at any time to reflect changes in our moderation practices, community standards or applicable requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page.
