Do you allow comments in your blogs?
Do you allow visitors to comment on your blogs? If you do, what kind of comments do you actually get? What methods do you use to deal with spam or really inappropriate comments?
I am in the process of building my first adult blogs using Wordpress. I assume that comments on a porn blog would have to be heavily moderated, so I'm tempted just to do away with comments altogether, disable commenting in the admin and remove the comment links altogether. This is easy and means less work but possibly makes the blog a slightly less attractive proposition from the surfer's point of view. On the other hand, if you're getting real surfer comments then that's valuable free SE content and variability, plus you're giving the surfer that web 2.0 interactivity that they apparently want. So what's your personal approach to blog comments? |

I do but I approve them before they become public.

I have comments on and honestly if I get one real comment a month I'd be amazed.
I use askimet which is packaged with WP for spam. I don't actually moderate the comments. I have moderation turned on but that's only to catch the few spam comments that get passed askimet. The way I look at it is it's a porn blog, what comments would I actually moderate as the surfer is speaking to a fantasy character. They aren't speaking to me and they really aren't speaking to the models. They are speaking to the fantasy in their head generated by either what I wrote or the pictures on the page. I'd have totally un-moderated comments if there were more people commenting than people spamming |

I have comments turned off. When I had them on all I got was spam.

I got them turned off on all of my blogs. I simply don't have enough time to spend checking each comment aside sorting the spams considering that I have a model's directory to manage.

Yes, I do allow visitors to post comments. There is nothing better than user generated content.

I tend to agree, but do you get enough to be significant? I am thinking 1 comment a month as Walrus said would not b enough to make it worth the effort...(?)

Short answer no.
Long and rambling answer: It seems too much a security temptation if not a hole to allow anyone to post comments. I suppose a determined hacker could form a "get" url and do some damage, by why make it easy for them? Maybe wordpress gurus will know if the php in wordpress is limited to accepting "post", and then only when the referrer is the same domain. That would be a good step in the direction of security.

On some blogs yes. Most comments are spam, if you have a filter turned on like Askimet you'll find there's not very many comments to moderate.
Most of the comments on http://www.funnypornvids.com/ are from me but it's new so only gets 270/day. So don't worry about having to heavily moderate your new blog. Like Walrus said you might get 1 comment a month on a porn blog. |

I use askimet. But like Walrus, serious comments are rare. Maybe I should start posting comments as other users on my blogs and see if it gets people talking.

It might be cool to start a little group that posts comments on each other's blogs. Like, I have a blog, and allow you to post a comment of at least 4 lines, and then you can add your URL to the comment. I wonder what that would do for search engines.

No, I do not allow comments at all except for one blog and that's for a specific reason.

I used to allow them for some time. But not anymore. Too much spam and close to zero real comments.

Comments and Rating
I just posted my first site, and I chose to allow comments and post rating hoping that the interactivity would keep visitors from just closing the site and visitors would return because they feel invested. We'll see if it pays off.
