I am impressed by how commentators are trying to fool my blog with link-dropping, non-relevant comments, spam (of course) and all that stuff you face since you own a 'self hosted blog'. Even if I am moderating comments -for that purpose only- I do get comments that seems relevant but when reading them carefuly, I find nothing but holy crap! .-= Hicham´s last blog ..<a href="http://blog.hichamaged.net/lockerbie-who-deceived-who/" rel="nofollow">Lockerbie: Who deceived Who?</a> =-.

By not allowing an admin to approve each time, it’s easy for someone to fool you with a quality comment the first time than BS thereafter.

However I don't like to require an administrator to always approve every comments. If you actively manage your blog and someone leave a ridiculous comment like. Nice post, thanks. It's easy enough to simply delete these. In my opinion it takes away from commenting experience for commentators when they don't get to see their comments appear on the blog. I personally get kind of annoyed when I got to a blog and leave a well thought out comment and it goes to moderation and I don't get to see it or at least not for awhile. I also like to use <a href="http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/" rel="nofollow">bad behaviour</a> in conjunction with Akismet. This works by analysing the http request to see if it looks spammy or not. It prevents most automated spam robots from ever visiting your site and thus cuts down on overall comments spam. I also like and use spam free. :-) .-= Gerald Weber´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sem-group/~3/b3gP8ADvt-E/" rel="nofollow">How to Free Your StumbleUpon Inbox From “SPAM” Shared Messages</a> =-.
