I&#39;m grateful for that.<br /><br />@Larisa: Wordpress? I think you&#39;ve got wow on the brain. :)<br /><br />@Tobold: You&#39;re right, a single troll can destroy everything. I wonder though, if left to their own, could people learn to ignore them? Commenters can really only derail themselves, there&#39;s no rule that they have to feed the troll.<br /><br />Oh, and comment DELETED!Klepsacovichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-38951627870533101772010-02-22T13:55:07.906-06:002010-02-22T13:55:07.906-06:00And damn, now I forgot to tell you what a moron yo...And damn, now I forgot to tell you what a moron you are, how you are completely wrong with everything you said, and how somebody who doesn&#39;t know that 2010 isn&#39;t a leap year shouldn&#39;t go spreading his inferior intellect all over the internet! ;)Toboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04354082945218389596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-33911190445799467222010-02-22T13:53:02.370-06:002010-02-22T13:53:02.370-06:00My main reason for comment moderation is not feeli...My main reason for comment moderation is not feeling hurt (some people tend to read too much into my actions), but the fact that trolling tends to completely derail threads. Most famous example: The Eurogamer review of Darkfall. Instead of arguing against what was written in the review, the people who disagreed produced some (still disputed) numbers of the reviewer having played the game only two hours. Then everybody jumped on that bandwagon, and all the discussion was about how many hours a game has to be played for a valid review. The arguments of the reviewer himself, some of which were totally valid, never got discussed at all.<br /><br />And I get the same sort of comments all the time. Even with statements that are obviously true, e.g. &quot;WoW has more subscribers than WAR&quot;, somebody will start the argument that I can&#39;t count the Chinese subscribers to WoW, in spite of that being completely irrelevant to the discussion. Or I get &quot;you are badly informed&quot; comments, without saying what was wrong, or offering proof to the contrary.<br /><br />The malicious thing is that comments like that lead the next poster to rather comment on what the troll said, and not on the original post. So even if I&#39;d moderate &quot;after the fact&quot;, with some hours delay, the thread would already have been completely derailed. I&#39;d need to delete half of the comments to get back on topic, not just the troll.Toboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04354082945218389596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-79670107591171284182010-02-22T11:22:59.520-06:002010-02-22T11:22:59.520-06:00Well... considering the amount of spam I get, havi...Well... considering the amount of spam I get, having a blog with a third of the size of Tobold&#39;s, I can imagine what a nightmare it must be to keep up with it. I really don&#39;t blame him for putting up the only defense that Blogger provides against this.<br /><br />I still judge that I can manage without moderation on beforehand, but still it&#39;s growing a bit out of my hands. I keep missing to delete spam and I just hate to know that people who go back reading old posts with commentaries have to put up with that garbage.<br /><br />Well, all in all, I too love Tobold and I can&#39;t see that he has any alternative than to moderate the comments. Unless he wants to change to wowpress which has filters, but I don&#39;t expect him to want to go through that hassle. I certainly wouldn&#39;t.Larísahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-2225723386447705852010-02-22T10:57:58.265-06:002010-02-22T10:57:58.265-06:00It&#39;s a tough call.

Should a blogger let the snowball get big for the sake of conversation or will that ruin all good conversation?<br /><br />Personally I don&#39;t care one way or another. I&#39;m glad I&#39;m not in a position to make that call. But I can understand both points of view and think that both arguments have compelling reasons.<br /><br />I&#39;m not a fan of extremes either way. What a blogger could do is allow people to comment then go in and delete the stupid troll comments as he/she sees fit.Gronthehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03440374214301179615noreply@blogger.com
