I finally set my post to where you have to have at least one approved post before commenting, this has helped to fight spam. I also use askimet to blog out a lot of spam but it doesn't always work. I use the do-follow so that it lets other bloggers know that they can be rewarded for commenting. I loved your post and found it very useful.

I have read several posts on other blog's about the fact that bloggers actually are getting more quality comments over spam comments since they started following their comments.

I recently added dofollow to my own blog and have been relying on akismet ever since. I'm still looking for a good CAPTCHA plugin for wordpress, so do let me know if you know any good ones, thanks.

Also back on topic,
I think the point I’m trying to make is that I simply cannot get myself to care too much about the issues you raise.

For instance, I’d much rather have comments from people who have actually something to say about what I write than people who comment because they feel the incentive to get a link back to their website.

As I said, my ideas are way too different from yours. I am a techie myself, but I don’t “get” into all this social networking and stuff.

Snoskred, thanks for the explanation, but I still don’t feel any need to change anything on my blog from the default settings.

Unfortunately the same thing that motivates you to blog doesn’t motivate me to blog I guess.

It’s hard to explain, but I guess such issues are irrelevant in my opinion…
