Last updated June 2026. How participation works on The Monsoon Wire (monsoonwire.com). Provided in good faith; not legal advice.

This policy covers everything you can send us: reactions, questions, corrections, comments, newsletter sign-ups, and messages to [email protected].

The short version

Be honest, be on-topic, be accurate. Help the next reader. That is most of it.

Do not

• Post spam, advertising, affiliate links, or SEO link-dropping.
• Post a claim about a named company, a price, or a market as fact without a source, or use a submission to talk a market up or down.
• Harass, threaten, demean, or target a person. Disagree with the figures; do not attack people.
• Post hateful content, or content that is unlawful where the operator is established or where you are.
• Share other people's private information (doxxing), or anyone's intimate images.
• Impersonate someone, or pretend a submission comes from a person it does not.
• Try to break, overload, scrape abusively, or manipulate the site, its moderation, or its search ranking.
• Submit anything you do not have the right to share.

How we enforce it

Participation is text only; we do not accept image or file uploads. Everything is moderated before it appears, and it is re-checked over time. We default to the safe action: when something cannot be confidently cleared, it is withheld. Links are stripped or marked so they earn no ranking. Repeated abuse leads to your submissions being quietly held or your participation suspended.

When we remove something, we record a reason (a statement of reasons), which is available on request. If you think we got it wrong, write to [email protected].
