Thank you! I know exactly what you mean after starting my blog I got a lot of these dead beat comments!
Nothing beats quality replies and a reward if you will with a dofollow
thanks

I agree, I recently did the same thing using the same DoFollow Plugin I get so much trash comments that I set mine to 10+ comments before they go DoFollow, just because someone abused it by comment on a bunch of post multiple times.

@Tini Martz
Glad to see you here. All I can say is, “to each his own.” You love spam more than I hate it. Just don’t spam my blog.

Well, rules are there for a reason, but there’s just this tini tiny problem– I was kind of scared to comment.

I read your rules over and over before deciding to comment, and if I didn’t I would have done something wrong. I actually use inzoneinternet(at)yahoo.com for all my interactions, right now I placed my gmail in your comment box E-mail* field, but I don’t use that at all so you can’t expect me to answer from there. (Is this rule just outdated? I saw this post fresh from BlogEngage though even if this is a very old post).

I actually have a totally opposite view of spam. I use Keywordluv and I am very happy with it. I actually made a post about this (below), but in summary, I don’t hate spammers at all. My blog has a lot of these ‘spam viruses’ but it’s actually a sign of good health for me. I didn’t get much spam before and it was just sad. I know it’s better to get real commenters who are not just in there for a backlink, but hey, they gain a link from me, I gain traffic from them, so I’m not one to complain.

And that’s why I removed your “@yourkeywords” right beside your name. Sorry, but “no keywords” allowed.

Yes, this happened to me too especially with the Top Commentator plug-in. I decided to remove the Top Commentator plug-in. Too much hassle and issues – not really worth over getting more comments, in my opinion

@Ryan,
You’ve hit my point. That’s one of the reasons why I just hate that plugin. Selfish people abuse the system thinking that they can just get away with it. Well, maybe not for some.

I can see why many blogs don’t allow this. Seeing make money online or funny t shirts in the username is an eyesore. It’s like seeing a wart on the face of a girl that would be good looking other wise. These days it’s hard to get away from the fact that someone is always trying to sell you something. I can’t even watch the t.v when comes on at the gym anymore.

I am starting to see more and more why keywordluv is no longer supported by many blogs as it is so easily abused by spammers. Though I agree with Chris ands it’s good to see you have reconsidered a ban against yahoo emails. Because it just isn’t a very common rule on most sites so many genuine posters will be unaware.

I do not approve any spam whatsoever on my blogs and none are spared I even write entries about how to comment on blogs so I see no reason to excuse spammers. The content of their posts and the name they choose should be the only factors used to judge them though.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for voicing out your opinion and I appreciate it. Actually, I’ve been approving Yahoo emails contrary to what I’ve said in this post. I find it cumbersome if I were to scan all emails for validity. I trust my readers as much as my commentators like you so I don’t mind whatever emails they use as long as the comments are genuine and thought-full.

I think that this is a little bit harsh, If someone doesn’t know these rules and accidentally breaks them by putting a yahoo email or something they get their IP address banned for an honest mistake. I think that you should make there be different gradients you know, 1st time you email them, 2nd time you… I don’t know but banning them for a honest mistake is (in my opinion) going a bit to far.

I’ve never heard of the keywordluv plugin, I got here from the commentluv site actually – I just signed up for that. I use spam karma 2 to spare me from the daily task of moderating dozens of spam comments.

Hi Joey,

In that case, I’d always assume that people will use their common sense.

So, when you have for an "example" a good post and people just don't what to add anymore and just want to thanks to you for the post what should they type in the comment form? .-= Joey´s last blog ..Best Home Businesses for People 50+ =-.

That's always the way it is. A few people abuse something and ruin it for everyone. You would think folks would grow up...maybe one day. Good Post! Note: Keywords are removed as per Comment Policy.

Hi Alfred,
I would recommend that you should set a number of comments before you lift the nofollow on your comments depending on what you are comfortable at. I have set mine at five to discourage drop by commentators especially those that are being paid to do so particularly links from businesses.

Thanks for leaving your first comment.

Alfred — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:36:07 +0000

hey,
u had left a comment on my site, came here following the commentluv link in ur comment.

Thanks for this post btw, i was using the normal dofollow plugin. Switched over to this plugin. Working well. Wondering if I should set the number of comments needed to around 2-3.

It's a shame it had to come to this but I fully understand you adopting a comment policy. I've had one for a very long time, I've even have a couple of lines on the comment form, and I still get the abuse. I either spam, delete or delink the comment depending on the abuse level. .-= Sire´s last blog ..Sire’s Tale Of Johann Herbig The Man Who Lived In A Tree =-.
