DOTT TV – Website Comment Policy
Welcome to the DOTT TV community! We value your insights, opinions, and perspectives on the stories making headlines. Our website is a space for vibrant, intelligent, and respectful discussion.
To maintain a constructive environment for all readers, we ask that you adhere to our Comment Policy. By posting a comment on this website, you agree to these guidelines:
1. Respect and Civility
Attack the Argument, Not the Person: We welcome diverse viewpoints and vigorous debate. However, personal attacks, insults, or defamatory statements directed at our journalists, the subjects of our stories, or fellow commenters will not be tolerated.
Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech: Comments containing hate speech, discrimination, or incitement to violence based on ethnicity, tribe, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or disability will be deleted immediately, and the perpetrator will be permanently banned.
No Harassment: Persistent bullying, intimidation, or targeted harassment of any user is strictly prohibited.
2. Safety, Privacy, and Legality
Protect Personal Data: For your own safety, do not post personal identifiers like phone numbers, home addresses, or bank details. Comments exposing the private information of others (doxxing) will be removed instantly.
Keep it Clean: Avoid excessive profanity, vulgarity, or sexually explicit language.
Copyright and Legal Compliance: Do not post plagiarized material or links to illegal/copyright-infringing content.
3. Spam and Relevance
Stay on Topic: Comments must relate directly to the article or video on that specific page. Off-topic rants or highjacking comment threads to push unrelated agendas may be removed.
No Commercial Exploitation or Links: Do not use our comment section for self-promotion, advertising, or multi-level marketing schemes. External links are heavily monitored; comments containing suspicious, commercial, or excessive links will be automatically flagged as spam and deleted.

To keep DOTT TV a trusted source for news and community discussion, we employ the following moderation system:
First-Time Approvals: To combat automated bots, your very first comment on our site may require manual approval by an administrator. Once approved, your future comments will generally appear instantly.
Automated Filters: We use security and spam-filtering software. If your comment contains specific flagged words or excessive links, it may be automatically held in a moderation queue for review.
Right to Edit/Remove: DOTT TV reserves the right to edit comments for clarity, remove violating comments without notice, and revoke commenting privileges for repeat offenders.
