You can read from a comment if the post was read or not or if they’re entirely clueless. It’s a shame asking over something that has already been explained unless it’s a clarification. If the commenter has been blogging for over six months, I think that the time spent blogging was enough to get some clear cut ideas unless they’re not serious at all with what they do.

It can be tough moderating such comments but I would suggest that you decide on what you think is best.

Actually, I see some comment where I feel commenter commenting after reading article title. They often ask a question which already answered in that article. Interestingly most of those already in blogging over 6 month. I don't know why they did that and what they expect in return. .-= Arafat Hossain Piyada´s last blog ..GreenParty – Two Column, SEO Friendly, Adsense Ready Professional Wordpress Theme =-.

Hi Anne,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a sincere comment based on your own experience. It really adds to the conversation. I apologize if I can’t accommodate your keywords since I don’t use KeywordLuv. I hope you’ll understand.

It’s nice to see new faces come here. I really appreciate it.

I think most of the praise posts are made by bots? I almost always delete them. If anything seems borderline, I delete their link before letting the comment through

Another kind of spam comments is the one with the out-of-context questions. My favorite one – Askimet actually does catch that – is by someone looking for flight lessons. Right… :rolleyes:

My observation tells me that do follow blogs are often times the target of pranks and spam. We may just have to deal with it but with an iron hand. It’s hard sometimes but got to do what we ought to do.

I have seen countless ‘great post’ and ‘nice post’ comments in several blogs and I do receive a few of these kinds of comments on my blog too. Sometimes, I do feel like the comment might have been sincere. It’s just that this has been abused by spammers so much that the phrase now screams ‘delete!’.

With regard to out-of-context messages, I do get them too, which likewise deserves the ‘thrash’ treatment.

That’s true Francis, even Yahoo are on the same boat however, for small managed sites like this wherein comments don’t reach the thousands, every comment has to pass scrutiny. I might not care much about what commentators would say and where they link from to this blog unless this isn’t do follow and I’m not after intelligent conversations.

This blog may not be dofollow forever but it will remain unfriendly to spammers, hard core black hat SEO practitioners and bad neighborhoods.

This blog is like a second home to me that’s why I have implemented a comment policy to keep unwanted visitors off limits. You wouldn’t want burglars come into your home right?

Ahhhh, rudeness and disrespect. Just go to nba related websites whenever there is a cavs, magic, or lakers game then you will see an all-out war between the fans. A lot of comments are not only off-topic but also sp foul that it would make south park look like Sesame Street.

The sense of anonymity the World Wide Web gives is a double-edged sword.
