Developing sites for a younger audience

Posted by Tom on September 2, 2010

Let me apologize now for not posting for a while. As you may, or most likely not, know, I am currently developing the next release of Stage Door Mag (re-launching Sept 4th)!

I haven’t had time to sleep, never mind blog posting. Anyways, I recently sent an e-mail to web celeb Chris Pirillo and I didn’t really get an answer, so and I want to see what your opinion is on the same topic…

I am currently developing a community site for young performers. In a business meeting recently, we got onto a conversation of how much the site should be moderated, let me give you an example…

I don’t want people joining with rude usernames, posting rude pictures and content etc. because the website is aimed at younger people.

But then I don’t want the hassle of having to approve users, comments etc. before they are live on the site for 2 reasons…

1) Because the user experience would be sluggish
2) The time taken to sit and approve every comment and user and picture would take up too much time

How would you address the situation?

If you have read on this far, thanks :)
