Comment Policy Update (May 11, 2025)
A quick reminder for all:
1. Spam Filter: Comments with 2+ links may go to spam automatically. It’s a default safeguard—not a block.
2. Trusted Commenters: If you’ve commented twice before without issue, you should now post freely. No one is blocked or suspended right now.
3. If Your Comment Disappears: Just post a short note: “My comment went to spam.” I’ll retrieve it manually.
(Thanks to Nivedita for flagging the issue—otherwise, I wouldn’t have noticed Xperia’s comment got filtered.)
4. Moderation Style: I reply to all substantive comments. If a comment crosses a clear line (abuse, trolling, tone violations), I may quietly remove or edit the offending portion.
5. Core Principles: Brown Pundits is a neutral platform. Nothing is sacred. Everything is up for discussion—except jingoism, personal abuse, or low-signal provocation.
Want to help moderate? Drop me a line if you’re interested in mod privileges and willing to uphold these norms. Feedback always welcome.
I thought BP was a neutral platform? Yet you put a picture of Modi at the top of your blog. If you want to talk about what “triggers” people, seeing a picture of the Butcher of Gujarat up at the top of the blog “triggers” me. Now in the interests of neutrality, you should put up a picture of General Asim Munir. But you won’t.
So much for neutrality.
BP is neutral but it doesn’t mean I don’t have my own thoughts and reflections.
People are also free to author and comment their own posts so long as it stays within the rules.
Sorry but you said “Jai Hind” and now you posted the butcher of Gujarat. That’s not neutral. You’re clearly signaling which side you’re on.
This is like the US claiming to be neutral when it comes to Israel and Palestine and then clearly acting as Israel’s lawyer.
Modi just said literally five minutes ago that there is no ceasefire and he’s going to watch Pakistan’s behavior and possibly resume military operations. That’s a threat.
what are you quoting “triggers” when he didn’t say anything about triggers? we’re not 6 year old girls here. if it hurts your feelings, take thee to the nunnery!
