Comment Moderation

I often read on peoples blogs that they have decided to moderate or not moderate their comments. Out of curiosity I have turned on the setting that allows anyone to leave a comment, without having to sign in or anything. My one request is that if anyone does leave a comment, that they sign their name.

I am pretty new to the whole blog thing--have people had good or bad experiences in regards to this setting??

Hi Ben,
Yes, I am back to allowing all commments. Problem is that people WON'T leave their name if they don't want to. I haven't had much trouble, except spammers who say "here is that website I was telling you about..." and then add in the link to their "make money at home scheme" - and then one comment that I thought was totally suggestive and full of innuendos, and it turns out it wasn't :).

Hi Ben
I found your blog when you commented on Sean Michael Murphy's blog. He's an old friend of mine from college. I just thought I'd post a comment since you mentioned it today.
I am a stay at home mom of three boys with one intelligent, funny, passionate husband. I live in the US in Michigan.
I've enjoyed reading your blog the past couple of months.

Hi ali- Oh right, I had not thought about spam..that sounds really irritating. well I will give it a trial run, and if I end up in somebodys' pyramid scheme, I'll hit 'moderate' again!

Hi lu- thanks for your comment, and for reading my blog. I don't think I have ever met anybody from Michigan before:) Wow, three kids- that must be full on.. one is a handful enough!

As someone who isn't so computer and net savvy, I've found it much easier typing my name in rather than logging in, thanks bro.
