It has always been my goal to maintain a safe, positive environment in the comments sections of my videos for kids & adults alike. In this interest, all viewer comments on all videos of all of my channels are first reviewed by moderators (including, but not limited to myself) before ever becoming visible to the public. Bad behavior is rejected, abusive users are reported & blocked/shadow-banned. The rule of thumb is, be a basically decent, civil human being, or be elsewhere.
