I have been following Marc Andreessen ’s blog recently, and in very good post about blogging, he announced that he would no longer be allowing comments on his blog. Given the prominence of his blog, I can appreciate the time it must take to moderate the comments. But it has caused some interesting discussion on the subject.
Another post I ran across mentioned that if you are going to allow comments you should have a moderation policy. The post mentioned the very simple moderation policy of Push Button Paradise. Consider it adopted.
I have had comments turned off on this blog for some time. I am going to begin leaving comments enabled. It may inspire me to find a better way to manage them.
