I might do the same in their position. There's only so much idiocy on the Internet I can take before I can't be arsed at all anymore.

Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record. I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit.

I mean, I tend to think that most trolls are just teenagers... after all, I remember being 15 or so and being a total ass playing Diablo. But then I grew out of that, and the fun of harassing hapless people online just didn't do it for me. I do think every site with comments/forums needs a dedicated moderation force. If you clearly define what makes for valid conversation in a FAQ or terms of use, you can moderate comments without too much fear of backlash. Jason – strange how that happens.

Take SFGate, the San Francisco Chronicle's website. It's home to one of the most idiotic and venomous groups of commenters on the Internet. A great deal of any given article's or blog's comments rarely have anything to do with the article in question or are hateful spews of moronitude. How bad is it? One of their commenters regularly tells us what he had for breakfast instead of saying something that's germane to the article in question. I frequently e-mail requests to the SFGate to do something about this -- I'd enjoy engaging on some actual interesting, thoughtful discussion of Bay Area–related issues.

Particularly if you have a trustworthy community, I don't think it's too hard to get the masses to police themselves. Though I hate the word "police"... anyway, 99% of people (very scientific number, yes) would be happy to get rid of trolls, so just by giving them the ability to somehow moderate comments or to hide offensive remarks with negative feedback, you can control that stuff without fueling the fire. If trolls constantly have their posts removed/hidden, they'll get bored. Agreed. Particularly if you have a trustworthy community, I don’t think it’s too hard to get the masses to police themselves.

I think it probably is a smart move by Endgadget especially if they also go through all their comments and ban hammer morons. I would like to see more blogs follow suit, rather than just ignoring (and not approving) hateful comments, ban people. We wouldn't accept it in a public space so why should we online.
