Comments policy

Dezeen loves constructive, insightful and funny comments as well as critical ones (when expressed with intelligence and good manners).

We don't like bad language, abuse, rudeness, gushiness, commercial messages and people pretending to be someone else.

Libellous and defamatory comments are against the law and could lead to legal action against the commenter. Under the Defamation Act 2013 we reserve the right to pass commenters' details on to a claimant so please ensure your comment does not libel or defame anyone.

We don't publish every comment that gets submitted and we reserve the right to edit the ones we do publish for both style and content.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
