Civil Comments in a Forum Like This

[Gregory Matthews]

Probably (?) all administrators of websites that allow comments to be posted struggle with posted comments that are not civil.

Adventist Today also struggles with such.  The following URL discusses this and notifies people of a software package that they have purchased and will install over the next few weeks.  Note, also the comments that people have made to this announcement.

NOTE:  Do not take this as an indicator that CA will purchase and install such software.

Maybe there's a free version online that could be installed here.

while I don't particularly enjoy reading some posts that people write (and definitely don't want to see vulgar language), if all subjective rude and snotty comments are eliminated, a forum (or other online site where comments are made) would run the risk of losing viewers/participants due to the rubber-necking factor.
