Youtube To Take Steps To Combat Troll Comments



According to this Wired article, Youtube is planning to overhaul the way comments work on the site.

Personally I've had a great deal of trolling on my own videos, and some I've had to enable the moderator approval functions on because the user vs user harassment gets so bad. And I don't like to see all the homophobic and racist slurs some users leave on my videos or those of others.

I hope the upgrade comes quickly and actually addresses the problems in a realistic and useful way, rather than being a band-aid fix.
