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.
