I just reached level six and found out I can help moderate comments. I have no interest in moderating comments. I wouldn't censor even the most vile of comments. I prefer to let them stand so everyone knows what type of person they are.
Does anyone actually help to moderate comments (whatever that entails)?
Why, and where do you draw the line before you do?
And if you don't take any action, someone else can. I don't think it is mandatory for any specific one of us to do it.
Once in a while you will just see comments of persons at lower levels, and you will be given a choice to approve their post or not. It is no big deal.
It is part of how the site keeps robots, trolls, spammers and haters from taking over the site. It's just a simpel mouse click every once in a great while. I have only had to "approve" about 10-12 comments over the last six months. It's not tht hard.
