Re: Parent Association blog?

In the discussions around a moderated blog (defined as a blog where comment need to be approved before going public) versus an unmoderated blog (with spam protection, posting guidelines, and comments going live in real time), what rationale is given for a moderated versus an unmoderated conversation?

Cheers,

Bill

IMHO, transparency is a good thing. We are about to embark on just a moderated parental
blog. We will begin to discuss Social Networks: the good, the bad, the ugly. We are
hoping that a focus will help us create a positive culture for discussion of a number of
issues. The moderators will be the PA president and the IT Director (me!). Our thinking
is that this is the future and we'll need to be a part of this. Building a community, one
blog at a time!
