Kotaku annonce un changement dans la modération des commentaires parce que les sites qui publient les commentaires insultants de ses lecteurs indiquent à leur lectorat que les personnes insultées ne sont effectivement pas les bienvenues chez eux.

« Kotaku is a site for any and all gamers and even people who don't play games but are curious about them.

Actually, all absolutes invite exceptions, so let me be clear about who we are not for: intolerant gamers and creeps, gamers who would prefer to insult or attack rather than empathize or argue intelligently.

Kotaku is for gamers of any ethnicity, gender and sexuality. Kotaku is a site where I would like gamers of any type to feel welcome. »

« Today I am also committing to expanding our discussion moderation to push back against any tide of comments that fail the test of being things that we believe you'd say to the face of the people you're commenting about. »
