🛡️ Moderation Policy

At Brandon's Dev Blog, we welcome open discussion, diverse opinions, and thoughtful feedback. This moderation policy outlines the standards we expect from commenters and the actions we take to ensure a respectful, safe, and constructive environment.

✅ What’s Encouraged​

We want this to be a space where ideas grow. To that end, we encourage:

  • Thoughtful discussion related to the post or topic.
  • Constructive feedback — agreements or disagreements are welcome if presented respectfully.
  • Questions and shared resources that contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
  • Clarity and kindness — treat others the way you’d want to be treated.

🚫 What’s Not Allowed​

To maintain the integrity of this space, the following types of content are not permitted:

1. Hate Speech or Harassment​

  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or personal attacks.
  • No bullying, threats, or targeted harassment.

2. Spam or Self-Promotion​

  • No link dropping without context.
  • No affiliate links, unrelated promotions, or repetitive advertisements.

3. Off-Topic or Low-Quality Comments​

  • Comments should be relevant to the discussion.
  • One-word replies, trolling, or inflammatory remarks will be removed.

4. NSFW or Inappropriate Content​

  • No explicit, graphic, or adult content.
  • No offensive usernames, avatars, or imagery.

🛠️ Moderation Process​

Comments may be reviewed manually or automatically depending on the system in use. We reserve the right to:

  • Edit or remove comments that violate this policy.
  • Block users who repeatedly break the rules.
  • Report serious abuse to the appropriate platforms or authorities.

⚖️ Appeals​

If you believe your comment was removed in error, you may email us at brandon@brandgrand.rocks with a link to the post and a brief explanation. We’ll review appeals at our discretion.

💬 A Note on Freedom of Speech​

You are free to express your opinions — but not free from the consequences of violating community guidelines. We aim to balance openness with safety and respect.
