Aprobación de los comentarios

Moderamos los comentarios en Fedora Magazine para asegurarnos de que las discusiones sean constructivas y útiles. Algunos sitios no moderan los comentarios, lo que usualmente resulta en spammers, trolls u otros malos actores que crean un ambiente menos atractivo. Los editores de Fedora Magazine están de acuerdo:

  • The Magazine is not a public place, but rather is like private property where we are holding an open-door event.

  • We want the Magazine to retain a high value to the public and the community — in other words, for all attendees to enjoy the event.

  • We want to discourage bad actors from creating a negative environment — in other words, that the event stays safe for everyone.

Most comments that come in are constructive. Even comments that are critical can be constructive. However, some comments cross a line where they stop being constructive. They may express hostility or include no valuable ideas — or simply may be spam.

Therefore, Magazine editors follow a common set of guidelines to approve comments, and discard those that are not constructive. If you are helping moderate comments, here are some guidelines to follow:

  • Comments that are critical of a technology or article are OK to approve. However, they should offer alternative ideas or suggestions.

  • Comments that criticize an author, or are hostile to a class of people, or put down Fedora in general should be discarded.

  • Comments that point to technologies Fedora doesn’t ship are OK to approve; the site has a legal disclaimer that says content expresses the views of individual authors only.

  • Comments that are indirect spam should be discarded. You can usually recognize these comments because they are very general, do not include any context from the article, and include a product or other suspect URL as an author name and/or site.

  • Duplicate comments should be discarded. (Sometimes comment authors don’t read the text that tells them their comment will be held and moderated.)
