‘Personally, getting comments to my posts is one of the most rewarding parts of blogging.’ I agree on this too!! It’s just good to see that people commenting on your post!

Btw.. I have a question about Pre-authorization of comments.. How can I do that in WordPress??

Guys, if you don’t want to have spammers – turn off the possibility of commenting. But If you don’t want to do that – prepare for spamming. This problem cannot be solved absolutely. You always have to risk with smth.

I’m personally against a comment system where a user most be moderated before their first comment appears. From my perspective, the blogger is saying, “I don’t trust you.”

Online I’m a big believer in not trusting someone until they have given you a reason not to trust. That’s when I start blacklisting, deleting, or marking comments as spam. Yes, it’s more work and there is a potential for a bad comment to get on the blog, but I think first-time commenters should get the best experience possible.

I personally don’t feel part of a community if my comment is moderated. I feel like I’m asking permission to come inside, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll be let in. And when I’m let in, I really don’t give it a second thought. It’s just one less blog to worry about being moderated on.

I like to get comments on my blog… the occasional spam ones can be annoying, but for the most part I don’t have an issue with spam. It’s mainly well meaning people who just post a link in the comment… I just de-link it and move on my way.

i always want more comments though.

I don’t get many comments. So maybe I have it easy. The worst I get are the very obvious spam posts- the ones that say something like “useful site” and then link to a pill site. I remove any like that if I catch them.

Otherwise it’s nice to get comments at all. I think it as depends on your purpose and best use of time. There are probably many bloggers who devote way too much time to comment moderation and other tasks that don’t seem to be a productive use of time. I could spend that time doing something a lot more productive or with family.

Nothing is quite as validating as reader comments. Sure, you can scour over your stats and see that your site is getting traffic (and which pages, and where from, and, and…) but that doesn’t really help you gauge how well your ideas are being received by the folks who arrive at your door. There are certainly other indicators, but I think of reader comments as the most immediate measures of this.

Blogger-based blogs are at a bit of disadvantage with the way comments are handled anyway, so I’ve intentionally avoided anything else that’d complicate matters such as comment moderation or CAPTCHA security. I’ve occasionally had a little comment spam, but I’d rather have to clean up a little spam as needed than to lock things down.
