You need to encode your data as URL.

Check the related post : Encode URL in JavaScript?

Or pass your data as JSON object :

$.ajax({
     type: 'post',
     url: rootURL + 'services/service.php?method=insertcomment',
     data: {comment : comment, storyid : storyid},
     dataType: 'json',
     success: function (data) {
           if(data.code == 200)
                 $('#success-message').show();
           else
                alert('failure');
     }
});
