No matter what's on your channel, if you set your preferences right...
A channel owner is free to delete any comments that they deem offensive. I have no idea why this option is not used more...I read a lot of crap on other people's channels...no channel owner is obligated to leave one word up there that they find the slightest bit uncomfortable...so why don't more people just zap the crap?
A channel owner may also disable ratings if they wish.
And they may also set preferences to that all posted comments to into a holding tank to be approved by the channel owner before they are posted.
You can disable comments on videos entirely. Yup. Just muzzle the whole world.
And on my channel, that is what I did.
Do I have a right to do that?
Yeah. I certainly do. And no apologies for disabling comments on my videos will be offered.
I don't want to spend time guarding my channel against trolls who wandered in and don't know me or have any clue at all as to what I'm doing. If anybody has anything to say to me, they may contact me privately...
...and since most trolls seem to require an audience, I really don't hear much negativity privately.
