   Hehe -- excellent. Thanks. We want that kind of comment to be "tunable" -- I.e., the blogger who's post one is commenting on could tune for this, and allow more/less sexual innuendo as desired.

   Yep, I agree -- it is a double standard... but...... Very sensitive topic. We'll think hard on how to handle things like that.

   Our "target market" right now is a blogger that would like to turn on comments, but has turned them off because they get toxic really quickly.

   I would think/hope that both of those comments would be flagged with even a small amount of moderation set. Avoiding that kind of comment is exactly what we are trying to do, actually.

    Thoughtful comment, thanks. I appreciate it. The notion of "Limit the community to the Dunbar number" is a fascinating idea. I guess "infinite" isn't going to quite work. Keen observation. We tried very hard to no

    I get that -- good idea, actually. Would that we all did that. For the record, we store zero comments from anyone. If you are using Respectify, we'll know the URL of your site and that is it. All comments are processed and complete

    Thanks so much. This is like gold to us. The defaults we have set are clearly too high. That comment should be exactly what we should approve. Thanks for trying it.

    Uh oh -- that's shoudldn't happen. Or rather, we don't want that to happen. DId you try tweaking the settings? We'd be most grateful for feedback on tweaked settings. For instance, can I ask you to turn down toxicity a

    If that is happening, that is a huge problem. We'll look at that right away. We specifically don't want that to be the case. We want to encourage healthy, productive debate. We may have the "dog-whistle" stuff over t

    Hey, thanks so much for the feedback. We agree. ;-) One of our goals is to just make the edgelords and trolls go away -- if they want to comment, they have to be nice. If they can't be nice, they can't comment (A gross over-sim

    Thank you! This is very important, and I'm thankful (and a little surprised!) that you read it! ;-)

    Nick Hodges here -- one of the developers. I get that objection, and we are certainly very uninterested in that becoming the norm. The idea, of course, is to try to prevent comments that we want prevented and that aren't helpful. Diff

    ...but yeah, it 100% shouldn't flag "Christmas Movie" unless specifically told to. Same for the phrase "Horrible people" -- that isn't necessarily in and of itself a bad thing to say.

    No, but it would help us know the defaults better...... Thanks again for trying it. Really grateful.

    Hey, Nick Hodges here, one of the builders of this. First, Thanks so much for trying this out and giving us feedback. Have you tried adjusting the settings on the left side? For instance, reducing or eliminating dog whistle checks?

    OMG -- this is the story of my life. I tried and, well, failed to be a DevRel guy, and I think this was a large part of it. Well, the parts that weren't actually my shortcomings I guess. I definitely felt the bottom fall out of the D
