We've introduced stricter terms and conditions for comments. They are now even more explicit about not tolerating personal attacks or prejudice. Commenters who repeatedly or flagrantly breach our rules will be banned.
These comment rules have evolved via community input over many years – including recent feedback. If you want to suggest a change, please comment below or email comments@stuff.co.nz.
我们为评论引入了更严格的 条款和条件。他们现在更加明确地表示不能容忍人身攻击或偏见。反复或公然违反我们规则的评论者将被禁言。这些评论规则已经通过社区输入多年来发展 - 包括最近的反馈。如果您想提出更改建议,请在下面发表评论或发送电子邮件至comments@stuff.co.nz
In a new development, our comment rules now include a list of topics on which we will no longer open comments. It's not an exhaustive list but it points to the single largest change we're making: we'll be much more selective about when we allow comments.
We have abolished the ability for readers to upvote or downvote comments. That feature too often led to the most divisive comments being promoted. You can say goodbye to the thumbs icons – now, comments will simply be displayed chronologically.
We've made it easier to report bad comments. On each comment, next to 'reply' and 'share', you'll now see a 'report' button.
人们更容易报告不良评论。在每条评论中,在“回复”和“分享”旁边,您会看到“报告”按钮。
And we've introduced an 'Editor's Pick' function to set a positive example by recognising the best comments. We hope that highlighting the most intelligent, wittiest and most constructive comments will start a virtuous circle.
