Do you have rules for your comment section?

A few channels that I am watch have rules for their comment section. I don't have a problem with it. Its their channels and its their rules. There are a few ignorant people who will complain about 1st Amendment rights, but their rights are not being violated. I have a few rules for my channel as well, and never had a problem with anyone breaking them. I use the filter option to contain anyone breaking my rules. Luckily that has not happen yet..
 
Apart from the generic "no spam" rule, I don't really have any rules. If someone comments just asking me to check out their channel, I just ignore them. I've been terrible about getting back to comments lately though, and am hoping to get around to more of them this week. I feel bad about it, but it's just been so hectic :(
 
I don't publish it, but I have a very simple rule. Anything goes, but if you insult another commenter, your comment gets deleted. I couldn't care less about language, or them insulting me or any such nonsense but I do expect that they're cordial to each other.
 
I believe in the free market of ideas. One time I branched out and did a new type of video and had a subscriber yell that my subscribers aren't here for that. Well I left the comment up and I had tons of people saying how wrong he is and defending my video. I think it looks good when you have the courage to allow people to hate on the video. You look through the comments and see one bad one and the rest are positive and the positive ones are pointing out how the negative one is wrong. It shows that you don't censor your comments and only keep the positive ones.

Also if someone watches the video and loves it, they see a dumb comment they're gonna go and defend you. So it encourages more people to comment.
 
Well I think everyone has the no spam rule... I also have filter any trash talk just in case someone decides to insult
 
I don't publish any specific rules but I remove spam posts and anything I feel uncomfortable reading (hasn't happened yet but if I were to feel threatened by a comment I wouldn't publish it and I'd report it accordingly).
 
I wouldn't mind a comment with swear words unless the comment contains a lot of swear words.

Censoring your swear words is pointless, either swear or don't ( but please don't lol )

Don't become angry when someone asks a question that might sound dumb.

Never ever comment "-_-"

Those aren't strict rules but it would be nice if my comment section was like that.
( except for the "-_-", that emote is absolutely cringeworthy )
 
The only rule we have is no racial slurs. It just creates the whole race war thing that goes on forever. We've all seen how annoying that is. Why can't we all just get along?
