Can Comments get you Banned?

    I have a blog wherein most of the time, in the comments, there are those who keep cussing and fighting about the blog post. They are mostly kids who just cant agree on one thing and they use the comment section to fight. There are too many bad words. Should I delete this or leave it alone? Will too much bad words in the comments get you banned?

    Thanks.

    From prior experience, it may trigger a suspension as Google appears to search for certain keywords (such as those pertaining to adult content) that breach their terms. It would be a safer bet to simply delete those comments, or censor the questionable words, than to risk your account being suspended. Here is the standard e-mail that follows:

    those "stop words" might also just make ads not appear on those pages.. Excessive'ness could get you suspended or banned altogether ..

    I use a combination of word-filters and moderators to keep this from happening in my forum.. it's not an issue on my blog..

    It depends on the blog software your using... I have my one client set up on wordpress. I have it setup where all comments have to be approved by me. Yes, you still have to delete the unnecessary comments, but at least it won't be posted on your site or like Tearabite said you could use word filters.

    Its what ever you would prefer!!!

    is there a plugin you can use that can replace words in comments with any other word of your choice? If a blog plugin like that exist it would be easier than manually editing each comment.
