I was one of the first in my blogging circle to install a commenting script on my blog, and I remember how excited we all were about it. A new kind of user feedback, different from e-mails and referring links!<br><br>Now, many people can\'t imagine a blog without comments. Well, we could have conversations from blog to blog without comments. We can use Technorati, PubSub, Bloglines and the like to see who is answering our blog posts. But that would require each blogger to be very active in checking out if what he/she wrote started a conversation somewhere.<br><br>What I noticed too is that comments really speed up the conversations. And we also start talking about stuff or adding reactions which at first don\'t seem important enough to deserve a blog post. And sometimes these little things lead to bigger things.<br><br>So, let\'s forget about "removing commenting" as a solution to comment spam. We can be smarter than that.</div>\

Something anyone can just click on is going to be one big invitation for spammers to abuse, while it doesn\'t add any value to the blog.<br><br>I can imagine that Robert is interested to see the sites or blogs of others who regularly post comments, but as a reader the only thing I care about are his posts, at a distant second would to review other people\'s thoughts based on their comments but in no way do I honestly care or ever bother to see what a commenter\'s link leads to. Disabling comment links for anyone but a blog\'s owner seems to be a reasonable middle ground.<br><br>I also know that it also helps search engine rankings to be linked from as many sites as possible, but again I fail to see how this adds any value. If the only reason someone pitches in is because it earns them another link, then their contribution will be of little value to begin with.<br><br>In my opinion the solution isn\'t to make it increasingly more difficult to comment (captchas, email verification, signing up, etc), but to simply remove any incentive for spammers to abuse them.</div>\

Akismet hasn\'t let anything through (if I recall correctly) but it has stopped at least 2-3 legitimate comments from being posted.<br><br>I guess you have the choice between two evils when designing spam-stoppers:<br><br>a) make it tight enough that it won\'t let any spam go through, but risk it will stop a small number of real comments<br>b) guarantee that it will not stop any real comments, but run the risk some spam might make it to the blog.<br><br>I think the solution is diversity. We need more than one anti-spam system. If everybody uses the same one, that makes us vulnerable if the spammers find their way around it (think "biological diversity").<br><br>I\'d say the strength of Akismet is its centralisation: what one blog learns, another benefits from. (It can also be a weakness, of course.) Spam Karma is nice in the way that it is also a framework for which one can design custom-made anti-spam plugins (SK is a plugin made of plugins) and therefore leaves quite a bit of flexibility to the user about how it\'s going to stop spam. It makes the spam filter easy to be designed by the "collective intelligence" out there.</div>\

You think you\'re cruising free and easy until, wham!, you get blindsided by a thousand little spam entries that need to be deleted by hand, and then you have to go hunting for the perfect solution. Like many here, I\'ve found Akismet to be a great solution for comment spam. Only maybe ten false positives and two or three false negatives out of 1,912 spams eaten.<br><br>To combat referrer spam I use referrer karma, but you have to keep a closer eye on RK to prevent legit users from being blocked (RK tests the referrer for a real link to the blog--which can fail if the referring page is behind a login, such as with webmail services).<br><br>For me, for now, turning off comments is simply not an option. Commenting has created relationships that simply wouldn\'t have existed without the sense of dialog that forms around posts. And not all commenters have blogs, and not all bloggers know to use trackback links (or care), and not all bloggers feel like turning an aside into a full-blown posts. Comments are a valuable part of the dialog.<br><br>Requiring all "comments" to be blog posts with trackbacks is like saying, "I will address you from my soapbox, and you must be silent. If you wish to speak to me, you must ascend to your own box."<br><br>When I blogged on a church shooting, the grandchild of one of the victims posted on my site. Then his mother contacted me via private post. When I blogged on Justin Berry, a personal friend of Justin\'s commented and contacted me privately. There are a few other examples of connections made and interesting relationships formed just from allowing comments and fomenting dialogue.<br><br>Let the Akismets and Bad Behaviors and Spam Karmas thrive. They are protecting a valuable commodity: dialog.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Rich<br><a href="http://tatumweb.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">BlogRodent</a></div>\
