New Commenting Policy
Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 2nd 2008This is just a short post to let you all know that as of today March 2nd 2009 i am changing the commenting policy of this news blog. As so many bloggers are now posting lists of blogs that carry the top commenters plugin that is resulting in a lot of comment spam on this blog for SEO purpose.
Although i don’t mind short replies to blog posts what i do mind is people using this as an opportunity to leave a quick backlink to their web design / blog using their keywords.
So as of today all comments must be made using your own real name i.e Joe Bloggs. All comments that are received using keywords as the name will still be approved but the Url will be removed and the name changed to Anon.
We are currently recruiting by the way… so if you are looking for a web design job

It’s probably not a bad time to add a policy like this. I decided that, instead of adding a policy, I’m changing any names that I don’t know the real name for to only the initials, then I’ll respond. Maybe; because if the comment looks spammy then I just delete the entire thing.
Posted by Mitch on 03 Mar 2009Establishing a comment dictatorship will not help this blog to grow mate. I have never seen any other blog making such a policy. Even large blogs allow use of keywords or site names in the Name field. I am starting the trend of never commenting on this blog again, unless this policy is relaxed.Richael Neet’s last blog post..The Blogging Park – Where blogging is fun!
Posted by Richael Neet on 07 Mar 2009The policy will not be reversed. I dont mind if i dont get comments i really could`nt care less.What i do mind is people leaving a quick reply just to get a free backlink.There a lots of blogs now starting to do this, and as for the top blogs i could`nt care less what they do, comments are not the most important part of a blog.
Posted by David Hobson on 07 Mar 2009Yeah, comment spam is a real pain now. Sometimes i am close to forbid commenting on my blogs but on the other hand, feedback is all this is about
Posted by Phil on 10 Mar 2009I don’t blame you. Something’s got to be done about the blog spamming! I have three active blogs, two of which are fine – I get valid, valuable comments. The other one – oh my! Pure spam constantly!In my opinion, it’s your blog and you can run it however you want! Cheers!Melanie’s last blog post..Living off the grid – What are the Advantages?

Posted by Melanie on 11 Mar 2009Putting real name is definitely better. However, I would approve comments with keywords if the comments are non-spammy.Sarah’s last blog post..What To Do When You Are Rejected
