Killer feature - in that its going to kill the process.
This is chat. Or close enough to chat that its going to be used as chat.
Chat is terrible for comments. A flame war on chat escalates at the rate at which someone can hit enter.
like the wake of a ship, the comment area will expand, and defeat moderation ability to clean it up.
Flame wars are bad enough, flame wars on chat which persist like comments are a bad idea.
Make it update in non-real time.
- memeCrasher 9y agoA conversation that a moderator can't clean up, does save you from biased and unfriendly moderators. Something I find a lot of people carelessly shrug off - moderation isn't always a good thing. The act of moderation is, at its essence, censorship. That's a lot of power to be misused by the wrong sort of people. (and who is the wrong sort...?)
