Community Guidelines

Welcome to the Sona Headlines community. We believe in fostering a space for insightful, respectful, and constructive conversation. To ensure our comments section remains a valuable place for discussion, we ask that you adhere to the following guidelines.

The Ground Rules

Respectful Discourse

We encourage debate and disagreement, but all interactions must be civil and respectful. Personal attacks, insults, threats, hate speech, and harassment against other users, our journalists, or the subjects of our articles will not be tolerated.

Constructive Contributions

Aim to add value to the conversation. Stay on-topic, provide insightful perspectives, and share relevant, factual information. Comments that are spam, promotional, or completely off-topic may be removed.

What to Avoid

To keep our community safe and welcoming, the following are strictly prohibited:

Hate Speech: Comments that promote discrimination or disparage on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
Misinformation: Spreading deliberately false or misleading information.
Illegal Content: Posting any content that violates local or international laws.
Impersonation: Impersonating another person, including our staff or public figures.
Spam & Self-Promotion: Posting unsolicited advertisements or repetitive comments.

Moderation and Enforcement

Our Moderation Policy

Sona Headlines reserves the right to remove any comments and suspend or ban users who violate these guidelines. Our moderation decisions are final. We strive to be fair and consistent, but we are not obligated to provide an explanation for our actions.

Your Role in Our Community

You can help us maintain a positive environment. If you see a comment that you believe violates our guidelines, please use the "Report" or "Flag" feature. This brings the content to the attention of our moderators for review. Do not engage with users who are violating the rules, as this can escalate the situation.
