Community guidelines
Last updated:
These guidelines apply to everyone who signs in to delulublog. Signing in is optional: every story can be read without an account. You need an account only to like or dislike a story.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- One person, one account. Every way of signing in with the same email address leads to the same account.
- Keep your account to yourself. You are responsible for what is done with it.
Your username and name
Your username and any first or last name you add are public: others may see them. Your email address is never shown to anyone.
- Choose a username that does not pretend to be someone else, including delulublog, its desk, a public figure, a political party or a politician.
- No offensive, hateful or sexual words, and no links, phone numbers or email addresses, in a username or a name.
- You can change your username once every 30 days.
Likes and dislikes
A like or a dislike is your own honest reaction to a story. Only the totals are shown; nobody else sees how you voted.
- One vote per person per story. You can change it or take it back at any time.
- Do not use more than one account, automated tools or paid schemes to push the totals up or down.
What is not allowed
Under India’s laws, including the Information Technology Rules, 2021, nothing you add to delulublog may:
- belong to someone else without their permission, or pretend to be another person;
- be obscene, sexual or harmful to children;
- insult or harass anyone because of their gender, religion, caste, ethnicity or anything else;
- spread hatred or violence, or promote money laundering or gambling;
- be knowingly false or misleading, or be presented as fact when you know it isn’t;
- threaten the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, its friendly relations with other countries, or public order;
- reveal the identity of a victim of a sexual offence or of a child in conflict with the law;
- break any law in force, or contain viruses or any harmful code.
What we do when a rule is broken
We may refuse or remove a username or a name, cancel votes, or suspend or close an account. How far we go depends on how serious the problem is and whether it has happened before. A suspension can be lifted; for serious or repeated abuse we may delete the account and stop its email address from signing up again. We tell you by email each time, with the reason. We act on court orders and lawful government requests as the law requires.
Telling us about a problem
Write to desk@delulublog.com with the username and what is wrong. We reply within 30 working days.
Changes
When we change these guidelines, we update this page and the date at the top. The Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy also apply.
