Pros and Cons of Allowing All Comments In Blog

First, I would like to apologize in my lack of replies to all my comments received. During down time, I decided to look into my comments. I was actually surprised and happy to see that I have a lot of readers and comments! Maybe it’s because when I first started this blog, I had very little readers and little to no comments.

Anyways so on my preferences, I decided to allow readers to comment me and have their comments posted right away without having to pend for approval. I also decided to not require an email address. My reason for my decision is because I do not want it to be a pain for my readers. I like to put myself on the other side. Hell, I even catch myself sometimes not making comments on certain blogs because of that whole email requirement/pending approval thing. That’s the good thing of allowing all comments to be posted ASAP without and monitoring.

However, monitoring is also a good thing. By monitoring my comments, I can decline the random spam comments. I can also be notified when an interested party comments my blog. I have failed these past few weeks to reply to any comments because I did not pay attention. I would thus like to apologize for that.

So what’s the outcome? I still want to allow my readers to post comments without requiring and email/approval, but I do want to reply to my readers right away. My answer to this is to routinely check my comments on an everyday basis!

Starting today I will be more aware. Rest assured, if you leave me a comment, I will reply to you if you have a question or want a discussion!
