The comments section of the Bizhack.co.ke website is a users space where they debate and share topical issues provoked by content published by Bizhack.co.ke media group. These guidelines aim to promote the forums by ensuring each user has a chance to freely exchange ideas without breaching the law while observing good taste:
TASTE
Keep it cordial and courteous. If you cant be polite, don't say it. No SHOUTING (i.e. a few words can be in CAPS for emphasis, but generally posts in FULLCAPS will not be approved). Respect other participants views.
LAW
Ensure what you state is based on verifiable fact. Reasonable and defensible opinion will pass. No personal attacks, name calling, libel, defamation or hate speech.
HATE
Do not threaten, harass or bully. Also avoid obscene, sexist, tribal or racist posts. Strong comments shall be allowed if commenting about someone who said something equally forceful or controversial. The comments section is a democratic space, therefore all have a chance to share their perspective on topical issues.
LANGUAGE
Since participants in the forums are from mixed backgrounds, English shall be the primary language of conversation. Some widely “accepted” slang and pidgin Sheng might also be permitted.
RELEVANCE
Please stay on the the topic set by the article or content item on which you are commenting.
However:
Being able to bring up related items from the past or make comparisons can help to better understand a point. If you would like to start a debate on an issue not covered on the website, please email site.bizhack.co.ke
