Usually I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this article really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice article.

@Charles–I agree. It makes your blog look amateurish when you let those comments through, and it gives readers less incentive to leave a comment in the midst of that spam.

@John–That's a good idea. It can be annoying to leave your comment and not know what happened t it (did it go in moderation? Did it not submit for some reason? etc.)

I would add this one:
As a blogger, if you don't moderate your comments, then please check them on a regular basis and weed out the useless comments like "good post" and such. It bugs me to no end to see a string of comments like that, and makes the blog look bad.

I'd add that, if you moderate comments on your blog, set something up to let readers know that.

I've left comments on blogs, clicked Submit, and then nothing happens.

It's also a good idea to have a Subscribe to Comments option.
