The Hindu comment-platform migration and posting rules
Change
The Hindu states it has migrated to a new commenting platform and requires comments to be in English, in full sentences, and not abusive or personal.
Why it matters
The commenting platform has been migrated to a new system. Comments are required to be in English and written in full sentences. Comments are not permitted to be abusive or personal, and users are directed to follow community guidelines. Registered users who are logged in can continue to comment, while users without an account must register and log in to post. Older comments can be accessed by logging into user accounts on Vuukle.
Implications
- • Only registered, logged-in users can post comments.
- • Comments are restricted to English, full-sentence format, and non-abusive/non-personal content.
- • Access to older comments is via logging into accounts on Vuukle.
Who is affected
- • News website commenters
- • User account holders
- • Comment moderation teams
