Another print publication makes the serious business error of censoring public comments.
They would be far better off in the financial long run to simple stop comment ability. Human instinct naturally distrusts any 'news' publication that censors and bans content.
When the problem is as simple as ending the laziness of the staff, by enforcing their moderating of comments. one really has to wonder how badly a publication like Steamboat Today wants loyal readership.
A number of great examples of a few of the reasons why most people prefer commenting anonymously can be found in the long thread this article inspired over on the Boat today.
Such as the guy who now boldly announces his name while obviously trying to intimidate a woman who says she will no longer post, by pointing out to her that he knows what city her mother and family live in and asking how they are doing.
Now that, is creepy content that no moderator would have allowed.
It's even more so since that kind of behavior and bullying is now apparently endorsed by Steamboat Today.
All because they are simply too lazy to place moderation on their forum.
Sort of makes you stop and think before trusting the quality of the 'uncensored, accurate reporting that meets the level of journalistic integrity', doesn't it?
"Unapologetically pursuing and tracking patterns within the news others make since 2010."
