The new comment feature is really neat and helps the community to interact more, but there a few major concerncs / issues with it for now that need to be adressed before it becomes a viable feature for communities.
What we need?
-
Comments moderation hub to avoid hateful comments.
-
Disabling comments on your runs by default.
-
There is no way to avoid hate comments. Moderators do not have a moderation hub for comments. Suspicious and hateful comments could be unseen by mods for years and if someone finds those comments, they could be abused against the community.
Also hacked accounts can be abused for that even if a community decides to restrict comments only from runners of the game itself.
- Disabling comments on all your runs under Profile => Settings => Privacy => Disable comments on my runs should be disabled by default to protect the runners from such hateful comments. If the runner might feel like they want people commenting on their runs, they can enable that feature.
[quote] There is no way to avoid hate comments. [/quote] Can’t moderators just disable comments for a game. That way there are no hate comments?
i think there should be a cool down for posting comments to avoid spamming, a way to permanently delete comments, and a way to disable comments for your run or a game in general

@linny356 That particular bit is already a reality. Please read the following 2 posts:

Also, deleted comments are now actually permanently deleted.
Comments. Expectation: Yo GG great run man, how did you do that skip in level 7?
Reality: SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM ##$$¢**& (and no way to moderate it)
