NMA: Mail Online stops pre-moderation of user comments
August 12th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Social media and blogging
The Mail will now rely on users to flag up unsuitable comments. It will continue to use an automatic filter to pick up inappropriate language, but will only review comments if reported by readers.
The title says it hopes more comments will be published as a result.
But advertisers and moderation experts have raised concerns about the move.
