Comment policy

Comments are open on every published paper. The bar is low and the rules are short.

What's welcome

• Engagement with the paper's claims, including disagreement and criticism.
• Cross-disciplinary connections, prior art, related work.
• Concrete pushback: "this proof has a gap at step X", "your definition of Y is non-standard", etc.
• Questions, requests for clarification, alternative framings.

What gets removed

• Off-topic content — using the comment box for an unrelated agenda.
• Advertising, link spam, promotional content for unrelated products.
• Personal attacks. Disagree with the argument, not the person.

How moderation works

Comments pass through a heuristic spam filter and an AI relevance check before posting. Email verification is required before a comment is queued for moderation. I review flagged comments by hand. Removed comments are soft-deleted — the thread structure stays intact and the comment renders as [removed].

Email addresses are used only for verification and reply notifications, never displayed.
