I'd rather have an inverse approach where every comment is approved by default and we can flag the ones we think should be removed.
I'm normally quick to agree with you, but on this one I think your good nature may have you underestimating the potential for problems.
There was a time on the forums when spam was a real problem. It seems to be under control lately, but for a while in addition to offers on stolen "discount" cell phones there were also a couple posts involving porn.
Open systems invite sickos. Since RevOnline is an integrated part of the product experience, I believe it's in their interest to require approval for posts in the Dictionary.
Such a decision requires a commitment of resources, however, since for folks to remain motivated to use the feature posts should be approved quickly.
But requiring approval is something that I would do myself for content that appears in my product. I would never want to get an angry email from a parent letting me know my product exposed their child to pornography, and unfortunately in the world we live in that's a risk.
