Well, it depends on blogger himself. If you are afraid of targeted by spammers, you can install anti-spam plugins and can make sure that 99% of spam is filtered out. Although people prefer to get their comment published immediately, still some bloggers prefer moderation over auto-approval. Rajeev Edmondss last blog post..How To Get Instant Traffic For Your Blog

The readers have voted – AND WON!

I just changed it over so once you have had one comment approved your comments will automatically display after that!

Thanks for all your input guys!

Sounds like moderating the first comment and then just getting informed about the following comments is the way to go! So I will be changing that over shortly!

Thanks guys :D

I am with the school of thought that moderates the first comment from a given person and then after that they are auto approved…I think this makes people happier because they can see instant results and occasionally have a conversation about my post before I check back.

At the same time, I do have all comments go to my email so that I can make sure I am aware of them and can adjust things as necessary (for example, I removed an email address from a comment the other day)

It’s all a matter of preference really, but of course I think my way is the best and your way is stupid…I mean, what are we supposed to do and how are we supposed to have conversations via comments with one another when your in Australia away from the internet for a week! :D (just kidding, but seriously did you think about the comments on the posts while you’re on your trip)

I moderate each comment. Sometimes what seems like a good comment is actually spam. This also enables me to reply to each comment.

I auto accept and then moderate them later. I trust my readers, and have yet had to remove a comment.

I don’t think I will ever remove a comment but I will block out vulgar or rude remarks. I think open debate and discussion is good and wouldn’t want to remove somebodies opinion. But it is important to keep things clean.

I'm always going to manually approve comments. I try to fix mistakes people and don't approve comments which will add no values to my blog. Clog Moneys last blog post..Back to normality.

Tom – You simply have a knack for this kind of thing. You are going to be successful if you keep at it.
