Why Enable Open Comments?

Enabling open comments on your project page offers a range of benefits for both engagement and community-building.

Benefits of Open Comments

• Encourages Participation

  Our research shows that people are more likely to leave a comment when they see others have already shared their thoughts. Visibility builds confidence and fosters contribution.

  
  

• Fosters Two-Way Dialogue

  Open comments promote community discourse rather than one-way communication, which is often the case with private comments or surveys.

  
  

• Engages Silent Supporters

  Open commenting is one of the most effective ways to encourage participation from those who may not otherwise speak up. It helps bring broader perspectives into the conversation.

  
  

• Moderated for Safety and Respect

  Every comment submitted is reviewed by the coUrbanize team to ensure it aligns with our Community Guidelines, maintaining a respectful and productive environment.

💡 Tip: Use Comment Topics

Framing conversations with comment topics helps guide the discussion and invites more focused, meaningful feedback.
