YouTube is one example. I think they have way more indecent comments than indecent videos. The website of a local newspaper in my area has the same problem. I enjoy reading their news articles but I stop visiting the site because of the comments. On the other hand, do online comments reflect our true nature? While we may never invent a machine that reads minds, online comments are practically exposing our thoughts. I would be interested to see behavioral scientists analyze the comments and tell us how we behave differently online versus in real life.

I've created lots of policies for comments on news stories on WRAL.com and my team of moderators work hard to uphold those policies. One of the biggest is no personal attacks. When you can curb some of that, the level of dialogue soars.

If I need one in the near future I'll be using this as my frame-work. Thanks Deb Greg No, I don’t have a comment policy. If I need one in the near future I’ll be using this as my frame-work.
