Our Comments policy
Natural Products operates some basic rules about comments submitted to its website. They are designed to ensure that debate is lively but also constructive and respectful.
• Debate should be lively but also constructive and respectful.
• Don’t swear, use hate-speech or make obscene or vulgar comments.
• Don’t break the law. This includes libel, condoning illegal activity and contempt of court (comments which might affect the outcome of an approaching court case).
• Don’t engage in ‘spamming’. Don’t advertise products or services.
• Don’t impersonate or falsely claim to represent a person or organisation.
• Don’t incite hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.
• Protect your privacy and that of others. Please don’t post private addresses, phone numbers, email addresses or other online contact details.
• Stay on-topic. Please don’t post messages that are unrelated to this blog.
Comments are moderated before going live. Comments will go live as soon as possible within a 48 hour period. If a comment contravenes the discussion rules it will not be published or will be removed from the website. The editors reserve the right to block publication of comment they consider damaging to the reputation of the natural products industry.
