Comment Policy

Comment Rules and Moderation

This Comment Policy explains how readers may react, disagree, add context, correct facts, share experiences, or complain under IT SUCKS! articles. Comments may include strong opinions, criticism, sarcasm, swearing, and rude words where relevant, but threats, harassment, doxxing, spam, scams, illegal content, and unsupported defamatory claims may be refused or removed. The policy also explains moderation, responsibility for comments, privacy data, links, corrections, and that submitting a comment does not guarantee publication.

I. General Approach

IT SUCKS allows comments so readers can react, disagree, add context, correct facts, share experiences, or complain about the same nonsense from a different angle.

Comments are welcome, including critical comments. Agreement is not required. Politeness is appreciated, but fake corporate sweetness is not required either.

However, this website is not a public toilet wall. Comments may be moderated, edited, refused, or removed at Milan’s discretion.

II. What Is Allowed

Readers may post comments that include:

  • personal opinions;
  • disagreement with an article;
  • criticism of public figures, companies, media, institutions, products, services, or public decisions;
  • corrections or additional context;
  • jokes, sarcasm, frustration, and emotional reactions;
  • swearing, rude words, and strong language, depending on the context;
  • personal experiences related to the article.

Swearing is allowed. Rude words are allowed. Strong language is allowed. This website is not pretending that adults communicate only in polished corporate nonsense.

However, context matters. A rude word used to describe a public situation, bad decision, ridiculous statement, broken product, or political nonsense may be acceptable. A rude word used only to harass, threaten, dehumanize, or personally attack a private individual may be removed.

Strong opinions are allowed. Calling something stupid, absurd, ridiculous, dishonest, badly handled, or bullshit may be allowed when it is relevant to the discussion.

III. What Is Not Allowed

Comments may be refused or removed if they include:

  • threats, intimidation, or encouragement of violence;
  • targeted harassment of private individuals;
  • doxxing or publication of private personal information;
  • spam, scams, affiliate junk, or irrelevant self-promotion;
  • malware links, suspicious links, or misleading redirects;
  • illegal content;
  • impersonation of another person or organization;
  • repeated trolling with no real point except being annoying;
  • defamatory claims presented as facts without reasonable basis;
  • excessive abuse that adds nothing to the discussion.

Criticism is fine. Being a complete idiot in the comment section is less fine.

IV. Public Figures, Companies, and Right of Reply

Public figures, companies, organizations, politicians, celebrities, journalists, influencers, and other publicly visible people may be discussed, criticized, mocked, questioned, or challenged when their public actions, decisions, statements, products, services, or behavior are relevant.

Anyone mentioned on the website may submit a comment or response explaining their side, correcting factual details, or adding context.

A response is not guaranteed to be published automatically, but reasonable replies are welcome.

V. Moderation

Comments may be moderated before or after publication.

Milan may approve, reject, edit, shorten, move, or delete comments for clarity, legality, safety, spam prevention, or general website sanity.

Editing will not be used to intentionally change the meaning of a comment. However, obvious formatting issues, broken links, accidental duplicates, or excessive nonsense may be cleaned up.

VI. No Obligation to Publish

Submitting a comment does not create any right to publication.

Milan is under no obligation to publish every comment, reply to every comment, explain every moderation decision, or provide a dramatic courtroom hearing because someone’s masterpiece got deleted.

VII. Responsibility for Comments

Each commenter is responsible for their own comment.

The views expressed in comments belong to the person who posted them and do not necessarily represent the views of Milan, IT SUCKS, or anyone else connected with the website.

Milan is not responsible for opinions, claims, links, errors, insults, drama, bad grammar, or emotional explosions posted by readers.

VIII. Privacy and Technical Data

When comments are submitted, the website may collect information needed to process and moderate the comment, such as the name, email address, comment text, IP address, browser details, and submission time.

This information may be used for spam prevention, security, moderation, and legal protection.

For more details, see the Privacy Policy.

IX. Links in Comments

Links may be allowed when relevant, useful, and not suspicious.

Links to spam, scams, malware, misleading pages, unrelated promotions, or low-quality nonsense may be removed.

Milan may remove a link while leaving the rest of the comment published.

X. Corrections and Complaints

If a comment or article contains a factual error, readers may submit a correction.

Corrections should explain clearly what is wrong and, where possible, include a reliable source.

Disagreement with an opinion is not automatically a factual correction. Sometimes an opinion is just an opinion, even if it makes someone dramatically uncomfortable.

XI. Changes to This Policy

This Comment Policy may be updated from time to time.

The latest version published on the website applies from the moment it is posted.
