Any tips on User Generated Content?

Hi guys,

I have just started up a new blog which is heavily reliant on user generated content. I was hoping to get some feedback on what people think is best.

At the moment, we have it set up so that anyone can post, but the post needs to be approved by moderator. Would it be worthwhile making people sign up as members first? In your experience would it significantly reduce input?

Anyway, please have a look at the site www.workwithidiots.com and let me know what you think? also feel free to add some good quotes/stories if you have any while you are there!

Cheers
Josh

IMO, and in my experience, when you ask people to register in order to post something, it does massively reduced the potential for input.

Cheers for that altyfc, I think i will stick with it the way it is for now then. More about just getting some good funny content on there than anything else at this stage...

I think it might be best for you to give the option of registering or not, perhaps registered users could keep track of their posts (view comments etc). Nice, simple idea for a site, I imagine you will get a few posts with christmas party season approaching! Good luck with it.
