Comment Policy

The Ways To Wealth values contributions from our readers and we encourage you to share your perspective by posting comments on our articles. 

All comments are held in pending status until they can be reviewed by a member of our editorial team. We only approve comments that we consider helpful to other readers and relevant to the topic of the page they’re posted on. 

Our goal is to cultivate a community where all readers feel safe and welcome. We encourage honest discussion and welcome divergent viewpoints, but we expect readers to interact with each other respectfully, and we do not approve comments that fall into any of the following categories: 

• Comments that contain demeaning or derogatory language about a person or a group of people, including but not limited to language that could be construed as racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic.
• Comments that target, harass or bully people or groups, including the article’s author or other commenters.
• Comments that contain excessive links, irrelevant links, or any links that we deem to be spam or advertising.
• Comments that provide no value to other readers, such as “Thank you” or “Good information!” or “Terrible review!” — all of which are real comments we’ve received over the years. While we appreciate the feedback, the space beneath each article on our website is reserved for meaningful discussion that enriches the experience of our readers.

Note that your comment may be edited for length, formatting, spelling or grammar, or for any other reason, and we reserve the right to deny or unpublish any comment at any time. 

Common Questions About Our Comment Policy

Why do you hold comments for moderation?

While we understand that moderating every comment slows down the pace of conversation, we think it’s the best way to prevent harmful content from appearing on our website. We are committed to maintaining a helpful and positive space for people to share their insight and experience about the topics we cover and will not approve comments that run counter to that mission.

What do you consider a good comment that “enriches the experience of readers?”

The best comments are those that continue the conversation we started in our article. Examples include questions about a product or service that we didn’t address within a review, or readers sharing their first-hand experience with a product or service that differs from the experience we described in an article. Good comments help us improve our content and help other readers better understand the topic by adding additional context. 

How long does it take for comments to be reviewed?

Most comments are reviewed and either published or denied within 24 hours, but some may take longer, depending on the availability of our editorial staff and the complexity of the question at hand.
