Updated. Today was just another Saturday morning in blog land when Robert Scoble, the well-known tech startup enthusiast, went to post a comment on a Facebook post written by Carnegie Mellon student (and TechCrunch commenter extraordinaire) Max Woolf about the nature of todays tech blogging scene. Scobles comment itself was pretty par-for-the-course generally agreeing with Woolfs sentiments and adding in his own two cents.
But when Scoble went to click post, he received an odd error message:
This comment seems irrelevant or inappropriate and cant be posted. To avoid having comments blocked, please make sure they contribute to the post in a positive way.
Now, Facebook makes no apologies for working to create a safe and clean environment on its corner of the web by shutting down abusive or harassing behavior, content such as pornography, or generally spamming of the system. This particular method policing inappropriate comments may be new, but it would fall within the same general realm.
