Sorry about that.<BR/><BR/>I find it strange that there are some people who would do this sort of thing. It makes me wonder why, really.

Do these people actively seek to be spammers or stalkers, for one? Do these people have any idea as to what they're doing? If so, why don't they stop doing it?<BR/><BR/>Spammers, I think, will probably find it difficult to justify their practice. Most spammers know very well that they're inconveniencing a lot of people, and they really don't care about that. But it's still possible to have a person who gets branded a "spammer" because he or she naively posts ads on a mailing list or message board thinking that no harm will come because of it.<BR/><BR/>Stalkers are even harder to pigeonhole. If I doggedly pursue another person for a potentially romantic relationship, at what point do I know that I'm stalking him or her? At what point will people <I>think</I> that I'm stalking him or her? And how do I know where I'm supposed to stop, for that matter? The rules aren't necessarily clear on this one, I think.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1132130241273058542005-11-16T16:37:00.000+08:002005-11-16T16:37:00.000+08:00Well, my dictum is that they're always be people w...Well, my dictum is that they're always be people who are outright bastards, whether they be spammers or just stalkers, in life. Can't escape that fact.

Blogger, however, already has an anti-spam mechanism that appears to be extremely effective for its users. I fear, then, that Blogger's new comment moderation system is so redundant that some people may begin to twist it to their own ends.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1131680082914252912005-11-11T11:34:00.000+08:002005-11-11T11:34:00.000+08:00It is tough, isn't it?Sean, I have been using othe...It is tough, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Sean, I have been using other blogging software and services and have been used to seeing the option to moderate comments. I moderate comments on one of my blogs. Why? Because I have been getting spam and I hate that. The only reason for me to delete those comments is because they're just spamming me again and again.<BR/><BR/>But it's true that there is a danger of sorts with the moderation of comments. For all we know some people use it to their advantage. In any case, I suppose that what we can do is be wiser in looking at things :) If you have a favorite blogger who moderates the comments on his/her blog - you'd actually not really know that, I guess. But you could also see from what other people have written about that person in their blogs - the good and the bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1131639168586497262005-11-11T00:12:00.000+08:002005-11-11T00:12:00.000+08:00Anonymous: (Sighs) For every blogger out there who...Anonymous: (Sighs) For every blogger out there who honestly wants to see what people have to say, there's a blogger who finds the sound of applause more attractive than anything else.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1131620499547998052005-11-10T19:01:00.000+08:002005-11-10T19:01:00.000+08:00exactly! what's the point of allowing comments in...exactly! what's the point of allowing comments in the first place if they'll be filtered anyway? either disable the comments or let the whole world dump its trash on your blogstep.<BR/><BR/>for example: one of the few things that initially made news blogs appear more credible than other online news sources was their readers' ability to make comments. shure, i can e-mail fox news the ten thousand dumbass details they forgot to cover, but i really can't be sure that they'll even air it. with unmoderated blogs, i can post those details for other people to see, criticize, and debate upon. for other readers, the value of my comments will lie more or less on their merit, not on how good they are for pr bs.<BR/><BR/>from friend to another friend: "you moderate your comments? nag-blog ka pa!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
