Daily Mirror Community Guidelines

Please read these guidelines carefully. We may update our guidelines from time to time, so please read them before posting a comment.

1. We welcome your opinions
We welcome our readers’ opinions. We want our readers to see and understand different points of view. Try to contribute to the thread.

2. This is a public forum and be cautious of the language you use
Once your comment is posted, everyone with Internet access can read it. Please make your comment clear to ensure that it is not misleading. You can express a strong opinion but please do not go over the limit. Please be aware that you are legally responsible for what you submit. Your comments must be in acceptable language and must not use crude or sexual language. Only English is allowed.

3. Report abuse
We strongly support our community in maintaining high standards of participation. If you consider that a comment does not comply with our community guidelines, please use the relevant Report Abuse option. The facility should only be used for serious complaints, not simply because you disagree with something said.

4. No libel or other forms of abuse
You must not make or encourage comments which are defamatory, false or misleading, insulting, threatening or abusive or of a sexual nature or offensive, racist, sexist or discriminatory against any religions or other groups.

5. No advertising or solicitation
You must not use our site for the promotion of any products or any sponsorship, petition, campaign, schemes or chain messages.

6. Removal of content
Reader comments that violate the community guidelines may be removed. If you are aware that content has been removed, you must not deliberately resubmit the same content.

7. Suspension and termination
We reserve the right to suspend or ban an account at our sole discretion. Some reasons for us to do so may be that you had breached the community guidelines or your actions reflect serious failure to respect the spirit and tone of the community.
