Tablet says charge of $2 a day is not aimed at making money, but at creating ‘a more pleasant and cultivated environment’ for its readersDealing with “toxic” commenters is a problem faced by many websites – and must be a particular problem for faith-based publishers. US-based Tablet, which describes itself as “a daily online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture”, has launched an initiative to prevent the conversation below its articles becoming offensive – it is asking users to pay to comment.We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. But the internet, for all of its wonders, poses challenges to civilized and constructive discussion, sometimes allowing destructive – and, often, anonymous– individuals to drag it down with invective (and worse). Instead of shutting off comments altogether (as some outlets are starting to do), we are going to try something else: Ask those of you who’d like to comment on the site to pay a nominal fee – less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation.The donation rates are small because we are not looking to make money, but instead to try to create a standard of engagement likely to turn off many, if not most, of the worst offenders. All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place. Related: Bloomberg switches off comments in website... Continue reading at 'The Guardian'
