The article caught my attention, so I read it. I liked it and thought about leaving a comment.
What annoys me is when after I have done all the writing and hit 'post' I'm presented with:
'Your comment is being sent in for approval'... or something like that.
Not cool!
I'm sorry, but if someone is asking for feedback or a simple comment they should allow the comment immediately, because otherwise it seems like they are picking which comments should appear and which should not, and to me that defeats the purpose. Most of us will choose the nicer ones.
I know some people are not fan of foul language, understandable, but seriously, I doubt anyone under 18 will be reading posts like the one I'm talking about.
I don't remember with details what the article was about because it has been several days since I read it, but it wasn't anything a young kid would have been interested in, so if anyone had wanted to leave a foul word it would have been, not fine but acceptable. At the end that probably wouldn't have been the case anyway.
Now, I'm not sure if we are able to choose the settings for our own blogs, or they are set by the software we use because I've never left a comment to myself.
I just wanted to vent about that. What do you think?
Do you moderate the comments on your blog or not?
Hard to tell if people want a comment or not. I, myself appreciate when people leave a comment, but I don't expect them to. The "sent in for approval" is annoying, but it is the right of the person running the site to do so.
ReplyDeleteI think it's done to eliminate kinda spam or some nonsense things that might appear (no idea if it happened to anyone - i'm kinda new to all this blogging thing) I must admit that I agree it is somehow annoying though i have this setting in one of my blogs too *blush* but just for the 1st ever comment... I really don't know why & maybe I should try & change settings now rethinking it... lets see :) was kinda away from it lately anyway in search for inspiration <3 I think it might be good for the reasons i mentioned at 1st but i also think it really sucks if people are using it to pick the comments they like only... tnx for a nice post & things to think over :) xo
