It can be dreadful, yes, but It's the promised land compared to typical youtube commentary

These comments confuse me. Is this some kind of Turing test?

I would much prefer the BBC to figure out the bits of the web they do horribly first - like a permanent webpage for every programme and give up blocking content to non-UK Internet users.

My suggestion would be to be for the BBC to have a top 10 list of sites for each genre of output and assign an employee to each to interact with licence fee payers there. Anyone coming to the BBC pages get the list of sites where BBC employee will be participating.

This does a number of very important things:
1. It drives traffic from the BBC to other sites.
2. It moves the moderation headache to sites who get the benefit of BBC traffic.
3. It allows BBC people to participate without having to spend most of the time firefighting turf wars.
4. It cross-polinates to others who may not actively be using the BBC sites.
5. It removes the "dead-hand" feel to the moderation task the BBC has to enforce.

Stop commenting on blogs, you should be leaving and heading to burger and pie. Are you not British?

betteridge sounds suspiciously like foreign and as a parent my opinion is worth more than yours so go back to your own country if you don't like it.
