A spot of housekeeping – Conference comments policy

As conference kicks off in Brighton, so does an incredibly busy week for LabourList, with work, news, rumours and reporting. So we’re changing our moderating policy, just during Labour Conference – although we will monitor how it works.

Instead of pre-moderating posts, we will post-moderate them – as long as you have a verified email address on our comments system Disqus.

This means your comments will appear immediately on the site when you post. We will not be pre-approving them. The comments on LabourList are mostly informative, interesting, well-thought-through views and opinions that we really value reading. LabourList’s vibrant comments section is what makes us such an effective site, and we’re really looking forward to reading what you have to say about LabourList’s Conference coverage and events.

But a word of warning: if what you post is abusive, defamatory, libelous, racist, harrassing or breaches our Comment Policy in any way, we will delete your post.We may also permanently ban you from commenting.
