While not specifically a "new" phenomena of the internet, I have found more and more websites that feature a comment area are either moderating or just eliminating comments all together. There is certainly more that I notice that have a "report" feature so moderators may be notified of a potentially obnoxious comment.
The part of this I find hilarious is the voices crying out that such actions are a limitation or an out and out violation of the right of freedom of speech. The really amazing part of this is that people think that some right/freedom of the USA extends to cover a website that is not hosted in the USA or that think a website is not owned by anyone and certainly not by someone who may set rules of conduct for comments to the website.

If there is anything surprising about a greater level of moderation occurring on websites is that it didn't happen sooner.


Oh let the sun beat down upon my face;
With stars to fill my dream;
I am a traveler of both time and space;
To be where I have been

True, many sites with comments sections do not want filthy posts, some people who post on sites type some pretty nasty stuff that should be removed. Some sites BAN some people who go way over the top.

This, exactly this.
And for which the mighty Haken does not recieve half enough credit for allowing RWED to be a hands-off free-for-all where one can't depend on a "friendly" moderator to SILENCE the opposition for you, and you MUST represent your position effectively or be curbstomped into a laughingstock.

But credit he has, and my respect, which is not easily earned, for such, because all too many forums fall to silencing voices of dissent and become useless to debate, resulting in a circlejerk of ego stroke and soon enough following, the failure of the forum cause there's nothing TO discuss, given that all opposing forces have long since learned they'll simply be banned for their temerity and thus have no means to argue the point.

Not to mention just how amusing it is to watch our reichwingnuts whimper and flail helplessly, drowning in a sea of their own incompetence and incoherence, without a mod to bail them out, cause that just never does get old, does it now ?
