What Are Toxic Comments and Why Are They Bad for Business?

Why is moderation important?

There are a lot of articles and blogs around online moderation, but how can it directly benefit your business?

Real time moderation is crucial as the Internet is full of toxicity that can project a bad image for your organisation. To provide a positive user experience it’s important to detect and filter out 'bad comments' before they're posted, especially through social media moderation on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Twitch and You Tube.

Every business should prioritise the safety of its users through its social media management. Toxic comments are often rude and disrespectful and can lead to users leaving a platform resulting in an online bad buzz for the organisation. This is damaging and will result in reduced social media traffic.

Trust and safety are important to build loyalty and project a professional image. Your platform should be a place for constructive debate, with no hate or malicious comments. It should employ healthy community management and allow freedom of expression without intimidation.
