I let this go up originally and then regretted and removed it.

What are your thoughts on how DDMS comments should or should not be moderated?

That comment definitely crosses a red line and deserves to be moderated.

If you have time, you should let it up there after editing out unacceptable part, and adding your own response saying that a portion was removed as it doesn't fit the standards or your website.

If you don't have time for that. Just delete and move on.

I read that comment on DDMS and was surprised that it had been allowed through moderation. I'm not one for limiting free speech in any way and I don't like how many blogs are moderated but I think in an instance where there could be a chilul hashem, the comment should be deleted.

Do you have a formal moderation policy? That would help...  If so, can you post or link to it here?

I am open to suggestions from you guys though in crafting one. Ultimately though, it's always going to be a judgement call though.
Can have a whole thread here of moderated comments, but there would have to be a PG thread, PG-13 thread, R thread, etc.

since your a deals/points blog etc. people want the liberty of posting whatever they want the pertains to that subject and shouldn't be to moderated. but posts not relevant to deals(like the uber driver one) can be more moderated than the rest.
