Changes In How I Will Handle My Channel & Keep It PG

9 years ago

Due to a lot of recent changes in YT the trolls have pretty much been taking over on the comments. I am sorry for this and I have an idea how to take control back from them and have a PG family rated channel again.

For one thing as I have said many times, blocking does not work. I am not alone in this and many channels have the same problems.

I can block a person but they can still comment through Google+. Only if I block someone I cannot see their comments anymore so I cannot delete them.

Then people see the chaos and drama on my channel and they start to think that I like the drama. That is a fat NO. I do not want the drama at all. I hope to clean up the mess.

From now on I will be very heavy on the delete key. It is not about the number of comments but the quality of comments.

I will delete any comment with bickering, slander, harassing or cursing.

From now on I dont care if people whine and complain about censorship. In the past I was too worried about what people thought. No more.

Most of the ones complaining about censorship are the very ones I want off my channel anyway.

Another problem is that most of the trolls come back with new alternate accounts when you block one or start to delete all of their comments. For a while they linger in the background looking sort of friendly but sort of not.

Eventually they show their true colors and start to harass people on the comments.

You can help me by marking any bad or outright slanderous or filthy comments as spam.

To mark a filthy comment as spam, hover your mouse over the comment. Then a small down arrow shows up. Click on the down arrow. Then click on the button that says report spam.

This will help remove comments that I cannot see in time.

I am one single person trying to deal with about 2,000 comments per day so I need your help.

Another problem is that I do not get private messages and my email is flooded.

From now on anyone with questions or suggestions about off grid living, tiny homes, alternate energy or anything I deal with in my videos, please bring it over to the forum.

I have full control of the forum: http://www.thediyworld.com/forum

Please use the forum from now on for questions and suggestions. I can promise I will see them all every day.

Thank you very much for your patience and help in this.

Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead.
