According to me every blog should have its own comment policy. I don’t know whether you read it or not, but Its important to be clear as a blog owner about commenting at your own blog. So here is what is allowed and what is not and what is to comment at NSpeaks!
Comment Moderation
I moderate all first time commentors on NSpeaks. That means, comment by a new commentor won’t be shown on the site directly. But once your comment gets approved, your second comment will also be approved automatically.
Comment Spam
I use only Akismet to check for comment spam. Akismet though is not completely error proof so chances are that sometimes a genuine comment may end up as spam. Don’t worry…I won’t let Akismet delete all comments before showing it to me. I browse through all Spam comments(yeah I hate reading dirty language but its my job) and check for any wrongly marked genuine comment too.
And since its not error free, even a spam comment may be marked as genuine…Don’t worry…I keep a check here too.
If somehow you are facing problems commenting here, contact me. I will look into the matter.
What I expect from You
I expect you to please make a note of following things before commenting:
- Please use your actual names while commenting. Using your website names as identification makes it ambigous and diminshes the community value a commenting system adds to a blog. Imagine me referring to you as SEO Blog while answering your query. Any name which is of website and or anything except a regular name may be flagged down as spam.
- Please use a valid email address while commenting. But be sure, these email addresses will never be used for spamming or other suspicious activities. Its just for your convienience that you will receive replies to your comments, which you may never come to know if you use wrong email addresses.
- Avoid using abusive or harsh language here and keep the system clean.
- Affiliate Links will not be allowed in your comments.
- Don’t use your website name as a signature to your comment. Any such comment will be edited and the url will be removed and in extreme cases, marked as spam and will be deleted in future.
- Please don’t post links to illegal downloads/links/websites/information. It will be deleted outright and you will be banned from commenting henceforth in future.
- If you have nothing to contribute except a thanks or cool post type commment, please don’t comment as it litterally waste my time in deleting your such comments if Akismet let it pass.
- I reserve the right to edit any comment to strip out any bad links/language.
Finally, if you have managed to read the whole comment policy till here, please respect it.
