Greg Pollowitz, "Media Blog" @ National Review
Memo to Arianna: Here's what you say about moderating your comment boards:
Huffington Post pre-moderates comments on our blog posts and post-moderates comments on news stories. We never censor comments based on political or ideological point of view. We only delete those comments that include the following transgressions:
-- are abusive, off-topic, use excessive foul language
-- include ad hominem attacks including comments that celebrate the death or illness of any person, public figure or otherwise
-- contain racist, sexist, homophobic and other slurs
-- are solicitations and/or advertising for personal blogs and websites
-- thread spamming (you've posted this same comment elsewhere on the site
-- are posted with the explicit intention of provoking other commenters or the staff at Huffington Post.
Sleeping late today Arianna? The comments from your loyal readers on the death of Tony Snow are pretty horrendous. Get to work with your delete key. |
