Civil Comments: crowdsourcing moderation to improve comments
my notes ( ? )
Civil Comments, a commenting platform ... aims to produce respectful dialogue in comment sections through a system that crowdsources comment moderation... Commenters are shown two random comments from elsewhere on the site, and must rate the comments’ quality and civility and determine whether they include harassment, abuse, or personal attacks. The user is then asked whether his or her own comment is civil before it’s posted. Civil asks two questions about each comment so that users are forced to separate their opinion on the comment’s content from its tone... If a comment is repeatedly marked uncivil, staffers are alerted to review it... algorithms assist ... by provisionally pre-approving or rejecting comments.
