What is sad Bill is that you actually see comments left by spammers as it makes you wonder why the bloggers hasn’t deleted them?

LOL I love your characterization of people that come to leave comments on a blog. I see some of the dumbest things being said by spammers! I don’t know how in the world they could possibly think I would approve some of the mindless comments they leave.

Not playing attention, or perhaps not giving a damn. Either way their comment will more than likely be deleted.

And there we are; if people miss that now, they’re just not paying attention.

That’s exactly what I do Karl, if I haven’t enough to say on any given posts, and that does come up every now an again. A quick Stumble or Tweet is a great way to show you appreciated a good post.

I think having some kind of instruction above your comment box is a great idea.

A very interesting post Sire and so are all the quality comments you have in reply. Sometimes you can read a post and you don’t have much to add and saying something quick often feels like a way of showing your appreciation, just like tipping your hat at the author.

However, with the advent of social media sites I think I’m now more inclined to not leave such a short comment (where possible) but rather show my appreciation by retweeting the post, or sharing on Facebook etc.

I had a comment policy on my old site that was just above my comment box and it did decrease the number of spammy (keywords in the name field) comments I received. I am going to put it back on our new site and see how it plays out.

Regards,

Karl

Thanks Phaoloo. I wonder if Google would be able to use that as part of their algorithm.

Oh, I see, excuse me for not seeing what you were getting at. Thanks for explaining.

Hi Sire,

Thank you for your prompt and kind response.

The relevance to the link in my comment was simply me being a smartass about including spam and ass kissing, or excuse the phrase but, a reach around, so to speak.

You are Joy! Many Thanks for entertaining me with your honesty.
