I find this kind of interesting.....I just posted to my community to try and get some information from individuals who had recently posted about a newer case. In the site's comment tab it claims that: Reader comments submitted to BadBadTeacher.com may be held in a moderation queue awaiting administrator approval before being posted. The moderation queue is reviewed on a regular basis and comments are added to the system in as timely a manner as possible. During certain times, particularly late at night, reader submitted comments may remain in the moderation queue for a few hours. After all, we all have to sleep sometime…...

But when I actually made my post it immediately showed up on the site, and only said that it was awaiting moderation. I wouldn't say this is the greatest mode of control since many people could see this comment before the webmaster has a chance to take it down, and if it was a really harmful comment it could do a lot of damage before being removed.

Conclusion: filtering as a mode of control for this site is poor at best!

I’ve just been doing some research on this site for a semester project. I was just wondering if you all know this teacher, or if not, what brought you to this site? What do you think your posts are accomplishing (will they help solve the case or is it just a way to speak out about the issue?)
