Deleting bad comments doesn’t fix broken conversations.

Moderation is reactive.

It kicks in after things go wrong:

• After misinformation spreads

• After arguments derail the topic

• After the author’s point gets buried

That’s not control — that’s cleanup.

True clarity happens before the comment section even starts.

AUTHOR'S COMMENT

• Sets expectations

• Clarifies intent

• Provides updates

• Anchors the discussion

Moderation removes noise.
Author commentary adds signal.

You need both — but moderation alone will always be one step behind.
