Community guidelines for comment sections

If you enable comments, moderate harassment and spam quickly. Disabled comments with a “contact” link are valid for small teams that cannot moderate 24/7.

Link your rules next to the submit button, not buried in Terms.

Referrer policy and privacy-forward sites

A strict Referrer-Policy reduces leakage of pasted URLs to third parties embedded on your page. Pair with a CSP that limits script sources you actually need.

Test embeds after tightening headers—some ad networks require specific referrer values.

Time zones in published dates

ISO `datetime` attributes should reflect a real clock choice (UTC recommended). Visible dates can stay user-friendly (“Updated April 2026”).

Large jumps in `dateModified` without content changes can look manipulative—update when you truly edit.
