The layout is dull. I can see the two-column view as logical, but you could use that to some sort of advantage, such as having people directly talking to eachother on both sides. So you might have one argument under a column and beside it all the retorts to it.
Also, look into some sort of comment sanitization technique, the very first argument I saw come up was "penis penis penis" and not far below it simply "wtf".
This is a website that relies on user participation and right now you're not offering too much to your users.
- diesellaws 15y agoThanks for sharing your thoughts. I have seen many layouts of the same/similar concept and this is one that worked well for us. I think the layout closest to what you refer to is represented very well by Twosides.co (please correct me if I am wrong). The comment sanitization is always going to be a hot topic as any opinion is valid - and if we start removing that opinion it could cause problems (moderation is something we are still considering). Although "penis, penis, penis" has little to do with Coffee (http://barkl.es/uJaCAk http://barkl.es/uJaCAk) they may or may not be making a valid opinion (depending on your opinion of their opinion). But in all seriousness, we will work out ways over time to combat irrelevant/improper Responses/Dogfights the right way without limiting open opinion from users. "This is a website that relies on user participation and right now you're not offering too much to your users." - I'm not really sure I feel your sentiment on this as by 'currently' allowing ANY opinions aren't we offering more? - Diesel
