Comment validation?

[bob]

Just an observation, what with the rash of (often personal) negative comments I've been seeing on different shows.. I have nothing against criticism, that's how we get better.. It's the anonymous personal attacks that bring this site down a few notches.. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check the top ten shows, you'll see several examples...

Often, these comments are done anonymously, and we all know that people are much more brave when they are unidentifiable.

I'm just wondering if it wouldn't make sense to validate the comments via email too.. I mean, if the voting system asks to confirm via email, it seems to make sense that the comment system would do the same. After all, an 8 line bad personal comment can do far more damage than a 1-star vote..

I'm not saying make the email visible to public, we can respect privacy and keep those to the site admins, but at least when someone gets a confirmation email, they'll think twice before posting garbage..

Just a thought..

I like the validation suggestion (but I don't mind personal attacks). Are you approving each and every comment, Ferf? It seems that it takes a while for comments to appear. Perhaps you could add the validation, and then not have to review each and every comment.

I say let them talk trash. I just had my first negative comment, and I responded but since it had to be approved, it took a while for it to go up there.

I say implement the email verification system for comments, and don't bother approving them anymore. If show hosts are concerned about libel, let them respond on their own.

Ferf, the comments have been in limbo for over 24 hours... if you're busy and can't approve them, it makes the site grow slower, in my opinion. Please consider auto-approving comments. If there's something particularly egregious, surely you'll be alerted to it.

Regards,
Ian
