One of the main reasons that I have not wanted to use moderation has been that I have enjoyed the immediacy of not having those settings. There have been posts where readers have been able to interact with one another on the blog topic at hand. Having that conversational aspect was one of the things that I hoped would take place.
Unfortunately, over the past three days, I have received more spam comments than I had received since I began this blog in August of 2008. Some have been caught by bloggers spam filters, but more were not. For that reason, I have now enabled the comment moderation functionality in my blog settings. I will see how this goes for a while, and I will evaluate whether or not to keep those settings, but for now, it is what it is.
Spammers really suck,that's why I have had to moderate my commenttors as well.I doubt if I will ever be trusting enough to allow comments uncessered again. I don't want to spend hours undoing the spamcomments like I have had to in the past.good luck maybe they will leave you alone again.
ReplyDeleteYou really not to work on being more tolerant. (LOL?)
ReplyDeleteMy spam filters seem to work fine. I'm going to remain untethered, and unfettered.
