EDIT: I see the downvotes, but I still believe there are better ways to get the point across without having to create that block of text on HN.
- itsameta4 13y agoHe's just encouraging discussion.
- DanBC 13y agoYou need to see the word, 85 times, to see just how fucking hard YouTube / Google fail at comments. When you have a single racial slur repeated 85 times even an idiot should know it's not conducive to decent conversation. You don't even need to see the user avatar of a Nazi propaganda cartoon of a Jew to know it's a troll comment.
- VikingCoder 13y agoSo, to be clear, you want Google to decide what decent conversation is? Or maybe should the person who posted the video have some control over the discussion, and it should be up to them? Do you want them to remove martinlutherking.org (a horrific troll website) from the results for "MLK" as well?
- DanBC 13y agoGoogle say they want to decide what decent conversation is. That's why they started banning people from Google services. Those people were using their real names (but Google didn't believe them) or were using long established names (but that wasn't good enough for Google). Google is making many changes in order to "improve comment quality" on YouTube. And yet they still fail, really hard. > Or maybe should the person who posted the video have some control over the discussion, and it should be up to them? I guess that's easier to say when you're not getting dozens of hateful messages trolling your channel every day. But, really, if that's what Google wants (channel owners to control the channels) that's fine. Just stop banning people for using something that Google doesn't think is a real name, stop tying G+ into everything, give channel owners better tools. > Do you want them to remove martinlutherking.org (a horrific troll website) from the results for "MLK" as well? This discussion is only about YouTube comments. Why are you dragging in other irrelevant hypotheticals? Me asking you "So, you don't care if someone spraypaints 'pakis out' on someone's shop?" would be just as daft.
