IPO Bulletin Moderation Desk

1. Constructive, Spam-Free Reader Discussions

IPO Bulletin welcomes thoughtful analysis, questions, and civil commentary on Indian public issues, DRHP filings, and capital market developments.

To protect readers from financial scams, pumping operations, and automated spam, all reader discussions are moderated under clear guidelines.

2. Verified Reader Participation

  • Passwordless Verification: Commenting requires a verified reader account authenticated via a one-time cryptographic code (OTP) sent to your email.
  • First-Comment Moderation: The first comment posted by any newly registered reader is reviewed by the editorial desk before appearing publicly. Once your initial comment is approved, subsequent constructive comments post directly.
  • Rate Limits: To ensure server stability and prevent abuse, accounts are limited to posting a maximum of 5 comments per hour.

3. Prohibited Content (Zero Tolerance)

Comments containing any of the following will be rejected or immediately removed, and repeat violators will have their commenting privileges revoked:

  1. Stock Tips & Pumping Schemes: “Sure-shot multibaggers”, buy/sell calls, target prices, or claims of guaranteed listing gains.
  2. Promotional Links & Social Groups: Invitations to join WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, Discord servers, paid advisory services, or unvetted external sites.
  3. Abuse & Harassment: Insults, defamatory language, hate speech, threats, or personal attacks directed at other readers, editorial staff, or company founders.
  4. Impersonation: Using names, handles, or avatars intended to impersonate staff, moderators, SEBI officials, or corporate executives.
  5. Private Data Exposure: Posting phone numbers, personal bank details, PAN numbers, or private contact information.

4. Community Reporting & Moderation

Readers play an active role in keeping discussions clean:

  • Flagging: Logged-in readers who have an approved comment may flag any comment or reader avatar that violates these rules using the “Report” button.
  • Automated Hold: When 3 unique readers flag a comment or avatar, it is automatically hidden from public view and held for editorial review.
  • Appeals: If you believe your comment was moderated in error, you may reach out to our team via the Contact Us page.

5. Privacy & Data Rights (DPDP Compliance)

  • Readers can update their display name or choose from built-in avatars at /reader-profile/.
  • Custom photo uploads are restricted to 3 changes per day to prevent server flooding.
  • You may delete your account and personal data at any time via your reader profile under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. When an account is deleted, personal identifying details are expunged and past comments are anonymized to “Former Reader”.
