Personally, I think site owners often take liberties with their visitors comments. Sure, it’s your site, you can publish a comment or delete it, but I find it offensive when my comment is published without the link. It’s just not fair play.

I can’t say about others but I personally visit spam folder and pull up genuine comments from there. I also try to convey this message to commentator that his comment is being cached as spam by Akismet. but sometime when no. of spam is more than 100, I have to skip it.

While we are bashing commentators, how about all you bloggers who do NOT take the time to actually go through comments that have been marked as spam.

Sometimes this so called “spammers” are not spammers and have something to contribute.

Please, take the time it takes to go through the spam.

The whole purpose of comments is to provide value for the actual post and nothing more. Personal chit-chat should in my opinion take place somewhere else like Twitter. Link spammers are the worst, when they try to stick their links everywhere. Even though their comments may be valid it pisses me off, that they nearly always put a link to their own post. Many times I just remove the links from the comments and then publish the actual comment.

I have noticed that you always get those users with short comments. What I normally do is visit their site and I can tell (a gift I have) if the user is just commenting to get a link or if they have really read the post and giving me their opinion.

I guess as your blog envolves, you can pick up quickly who is just commenting for the sake of backlinks.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in a Vote Appeal….
In fact you could just write a post that the “The Indibloggies Blog Awards for 2008 are goinn one…” The Prizes are …. the nominees are …

I am sure most of your readers are not aware of it…..

I agree with you here FAQPAL, atleast that commentator read your posts and add links which adding value in a way or other. In that case I will not mind accepting links.
