What Is a Blog Comment Policy?

A comment policy is the rulebook for your comment section. It tells people what they can post, what gets removed. and what happens to the details they enter in your comment form.

When you remove a comment, you can point to the rule it broke.

It also answers the questions commenters ask: Why hasn’t my comment appeared? Who sees my email address? How do I report an abusive comment?

Comment Policy FAQs

Where should I put my comment policy?

Link it next to your comment form, for example: “Please read our comment policy before posting.” You can also add it to your footer with your other legal pages.

Can I delete negative comments?

You can remove comments that break your rules. If comments include reviews of products you sell or promote, don’t remove them only because they’re negative. The generated policy says you publish positive and negative reviews.

Can I edit a commenter's words?

Only in limited cases. The policy lets you remove a link, personal details or offensive words instead of deleting the whole comment. You mark the comment as edited and don’t rewrite it.

Will the policy match my WordPress comment settings?

Yes. You choose one of 3 moderation options: hold all comments, hold first-time commenters, or publish straight away with spam filters. {PREFILL} The generator starts from your WordPress Discussion settings.

Can I ban AI-written spam comments?

Yes. Turn on the optional rule against comments written mainly by AI tools and posted in bulk.

What happens if someone keeps breaking the rules?

The policy says you may block repeat offenders from commenting.

Does my comment policy replace a privacy policy?

No. The comment policy lists what your comment form collects and links to your Privacy Policy for how you use it and how people ask to delete it.
