Commenter Policy

Welcome! We're glad you're here. Commenting is a privilege reserved for paid subscribers of Darker Times. In order to maintain a respectful environment our users, we expressly do not allow the following:

  • Bigotry or hate speech in any form. No, we’re not going to define bigotry for you – if you have to ask, you’re already treading on dangerous ground.
  • Flame wars, trolling, violent and/or threatening language, and anything else that lowers the tone or destroys the vibe. We’re all adults here; act accordingly. 
  • Harassment of other commenters or of Darker Times staff and contributors. Productive and respectful disagreements about ideas are welcome, personal attacks and insults are not. 
  • A.I.-generated comments. Say it yourself or don’t say it at all.
  • Spam. Come on. 

Darker Times reserves the right to ban commenters for violating the letter or the spirit of these guidelines. If you’re concerned that another commenter has violated these policies, please use the report button to let us know. If you have questions, get in touch at hello@darkertimes.com.
