About time YouTube cleared up their act..

I'm talking about the comments section of videos. It annoys me how a huge majority of videos end with a list of vile abuse and commentary from brain dead idiots with nothing better to do!

I don't have kids, but if I did then I would seriously consider blocking them from accessing the website for this reason.

At the moment all I see is 'report as spam' option, not a 'report abuse' or anything that would allow users to help them manage the vile content that seems to fill it!

For example,

Surely, this Taffy ba****ds real talent lies in sheep-shagging? And I'm sure the Queen would love to see that at the Royal Variety Show.

that bi*ch can suck it!

so he can fu*k straight away =D

It's about time YouTube stepped it up a gear and moderated to some extent what their users can write!

*vent over*

Yup.

Even without the rank language (expressed of implied) the utter stupidity of the respondents is almost scary.

Youtube commentards seem to have been a subject of derision for a while - see this (excellent in so many ways) clip from The Onion where it is even mentioned.

What is really frightening is that all those cretins have a vote.

If you still want to use it there seems to be a filtering app here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/5809/remove-unsuitable-comments-from-youtube/

Ye, that excuses the vile comments plastered all over the place on a website used by the masses of all ages!

Thanks.

The only quibble I'd have is that he seems to have overrated the intelligence of the typical responder.
