The usenet's not and look at the problems there. Warez, child porn.... Not that I'm against the usenet. My sites a part of it but, I moderate my downloads. You should moderate your blog.

That is not what I fought for and it is not what my father and uncles fought for in the Second World War and my grandpa's in the First World war! Another thing Canadians need to be concerned about is stopping the Global Elites from trying to infiltrate our Canadian Government, in the next Federal Election! The names in this sample are ficticous so that it is easy to understand! Here's how they do it: Two Party Paradyne Trick at Election Time Elitists hone two candidates, train a Left winger, take another and hone her or him to be a Right winger! With elitist methods these candidates are trained to move at the right time to be elected, wherby they will arrange financial controls of the country for power gain of the Elitists! The elitist boss is named David,the Left wing candidate is Obooba, Right wing candidate Sarah ! Because the elite are wealthy they Lobby and are able to create PR for these candidates that gives the candidates credibility among the voters and are promoted to become Dominant candidates! David doesn’t care who wins between candidates as they have been honed for the Elities and David their Puppet Master! Liberal Obooba gets voted in as President, he performs foremost for the Elitists! In spite of his oath! Should Sarah, Right Winger get elected as President ,she will perform for the Elitists, despite her oath! Right or Left = Elitist Win! Absolutely no banning of free speech on the Internet or anywhere else in Canada or The United States!

There are many reasons why comments should be moderated. There are nowadays so many spams that many comments are just spams disguised as comments. Lets see something like "I see your point. You might want to check out the following site ... bluh, bluh, bluh". This is a total spam. If you don't moderate your comments, your blog will end up with lots of spams like this. Moreover, some people post really nasty and rude comments which are not really helpful to the general readers. They can even degrade the reputation of your website. And individual websites are people's private properties. They are like their home. You don't let strangers do whatever they like in your house. The same applies to my home.

Over the past few weeks, I don't know what is going on, but I'm finding myself increasingly offended by comments I find on pages like youtube, facebook, and other popular sites. The ones I'm most offended by are the ones where the people commenting remain anonymous. If something isn't done, and sites aren't moderated, how far will it go? Think about how bad it will be just a year or two down the road. I agree with those who agree with moderating comments.

Speaking on behalf of this topic, I just recently wrote an e-mail to the Youtube video company about this issue. I stated that nowadays, websites like Youtube are a breeding ground for all sorts of rude and racist comments. People now post their hatred and ignorance on that website and it is very bad. I hope that they will respond quickly and I am still waiting for their reply. Hey there, I totally agree with you regarding the moderation of comments on websites.

Anyone posting hate-speech or racist comments are blocked, and their comments are removed. ebaum's videos need moderation badly...i've stopped visiting the site entirely because of the comments people leave. Youtube has a far better community. It's a good example of what can happen without moderation. It starts to affect the site as a whole. I personally moderate all my youtube videos.

Allowing only good content to be added to your blog post, forums, etc just makes sense. It adds value. If it was "free-for-all" (as Shane commented) then your credibility goes down the drain quickly.
