Sunlight Scholar has a zero-tolerance spam policy on our website or any affiliated platforms, including all pages and communities hosted on external websites and any other communication channels.

Automated Spam Filtering and Human Moderation

We use Automattic’s Akismet plugin to help filter out potential spam and other security risks in public content posted by users on our website to help improve operation and user experience of our Services. Furthermore, comments and other user-submitted content is regularly moderated by a human being to catch suspicious behavior. Furthermore, our messaging systems at Sunlight Scholar  automatically scan all incoming email messages, and filter out messages that appear to be spam.

Problems With Spam Filtering/Unwanted Messages

No message filtering system is 100% accurate, and from time to time legitimate messages will be filtered our communications systems. If you believe this has happened to a message you have sent, please advise the message recipient by another means. You can reduce the risk of a message being caught by the spam filters by sending the message in plain text (i.e. no HTML), removing any attachments, and ensuring that your messages are scanned for malware before dispatch. In the unlikely event that you receive any message from Sunlight Scholar or sent using Sunlight Scholar’s systems that may be considered to be spam, please contact us directly using the contact information below or via the contact form on our Website and the matter will be investigated.
