When to Moderate Comments

Allowing visitors to throw comments on your blog, website, forum or any web page is a good marketing technique. It increases the interactivity of your page and the traffic on it but sometimes we cannot avoid some lousy or rude feedback that they are going to throw to our website. This is when moderation is needed and comes in.
Moderation makes sure your page is protected from extra-intentions of your visitors. When moderating a comment, it all depends on you what i mean is you either approve the publishing of the comment or not. Once it is approved, it appears on your page. And if the comment is disapproved for reasons, it will not be shown or sometimes the user can be blocked too.
When the comment is very long, it would occupy a big portion of your page. Such comment is not presentable. Thus, it is smart to encourage visitors to observe a maximum number of words when commenting. One more thing, most visitors usually do not read very long comments.
Visitors, on their outrage emotions, may use barbaric and negative terms to show their reaction over a post. They may swear, curse or even the worst of it they can use street expressions to express themselves. Moderation screens comments that use inappropriate language. Strict moderation of comments with inappropriate terms should be observed. First, such terms offend other visitors. Other visitors may get irritated when reading comments with barbaric and negative terms. Second, visitors will generalize your page is being visited by unprofessional internet users.
Since some visitors like to post their website URL on other sites, you must make sure the URL post is not broken. It would be useless if other visitors click on the URL and the link does not show anything. Another reason why you have to check the URL is to check the content of the website directed to. Disapprove if the website promotes illegal activities such as using drugs but i suggest to just ban the website to avoid more damages that it can cause. Make sure all information pitched into your web page is in line with the objectives of your page.
More than moderating comments, moderation services extends to checking visitor submissions to your site like audio clips, video clips, articles and pictures.
