Moderation policy
Blog comments are pre-moderated to check they comply with the CESG Digital blog participation guidelines above. If comments don’t comply they will not be published.

Here is a brief outline of how we evaluate comments.

Is this comment on topic, does it add value to the discussion and can cesg.digital answer publicly? 
If so, we’ll post a timely response within 48 hours.

Is this person asking for information or detail relating to another CESG service e.g. is it a general customer query? 
If so, we’ll provide the user with the correct contact details so that they can re-submit the query through the correct front door.

Does this comment raise an issue with CESG content on GOV.UK, or other publishing platforms?
If so we'll contact the CESG/GDS team responsible for fixing the content or issue and tell the user this has been done.

Is this comment a rant at CESG venting frustration or anger?
If so, we’ll not publish the post, we’ll monitor and discuss with the digital team first, referring to the participation guidelines.
