LAUNCHED! Moderation and more!

It must be your lucky day!  Two posts from the G-SNAP! team.  Woohoo!

Well, today we’re proud to announce the availability of some new features.  Here they are:

1.  Moderation:  in order to control the quality of your content, you now have a few choices as how you deal with viewer comments or viewers themselves.

  • Viewer comments:  By default comments are visible but you can also set comments to hidden (via Snapcast settings).  That means a comment must be approved prior to it being posted to the Snapcast.
  • Trusted contributor:  If you set comments to hidden, you can promote a user who is doing a good job to be a “trusted contributor”.  That is, all future comments they write will be automagically approved.
  • Ban user: well, this isn’t exciting but it’s necessary.  If you have a viewer causing you grief, you can boot them from your Snapcast.

A few additional features we launched:

  • End Snapcast:  by popular demand, you now have the ability to end your Snapcast.  So, when you choose to do so, people can’t enter in any additional comments.
  • Default Snapcast: for those of you who use our mobile product, setting a specific Snapcast to be your default Snapcast will make your x-casting a little easier.  When you xcast, you no longer need to specify the Snapcast ID.  Just enter a subject and you’re off to the races!
  • Inappropriate word filter: we’ve had this for a little while but now you have the ability to turn it off (it’s on by default).  Please continue to keep it as clean as possible as there might be a younger crowd in attendance!

Well, that’s about it for now.  Enjoy the new features.  As always, please keep the emails coming as we love to hear your thoughts and requests.
