  • 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
  • Are seen to impersonate someone else
  • Repeatedly post the same or similar messages ('spam')
  • Are unrelated to the topic
  • Include contact details such as telephone numbers and postal or email addresses
  • Are written in anything other than English
  • Contain links to other websites which break our Editorial Guidelines
  • Describe or encourage activities which could endanger the safety or well-being of others
 

We may also occasionally close comments on a post if we think the discussion has become irrelevant.

 

The BBC welcomes feedback, both positive and negative, about our programmes and services but please make sure your comments are in line with the above House Rules. Repeatedly posting personal or offensive comments about individual members of the public or people who work for the BBC may be considered harassment.
