7/10!

You can almost tell the difference between Daily Mail comments and Stormfront comments. Not much in it though.

Font?

That's cos you wrote some of those DM comments.

But then I recognised some of the posts as my own .... not saying which site though.

To some extent, but not invariably. In either case the commenter could be firing from the hip or not; but somehow the StormFront comments generally seemed more "out there" (maybe partly because Daily Mail comments are edited / curated).

FTFY was I don't think highlighting and promoting the typical Daily Fail readers comment can be called moderating them....

You mean StormFront views are more of a doctrine rather than just an ill thought out comment.

I don't sodding care about the scores having seen on the site that Winamp is going to be killed

According to a comment on the Register article, there are open source versions of Winamp.

So in theory you should be able to set yourself up with it indefinitely.

Tricky test - all answers COULD have been on Daily Mail.

Somebody needs to run a test

Nope Daily Fail readers love the monarchy, stormfront readers don't. That was to easy points.

The anti-gypsy comments were harder to pin down however....

Got 5/10.

Stormfront seems less extreme in their views...

8 out of 10. Despite what the site tries to imply, it's generally quite easy to tell the comments apart. Those StormFront comments have a malevolence and often a conspiratorial weirdness beyond anything you'd be likely to see in the Daily Mail or Sun etc.

I bet a similar competition could be produced comparing Guardian or New Statesman comments with some hard left Stalinist forum.
