Your Comment Is Awaiting Moderation


I don't like it when bloggers moderate their comments.  I know, I know, some do it to keep the bad spammers away.  But, when I get the message, "Your Comment Is Awaiting Moderation", I always feel that both my time and opinion aren't valid unless, the blogger in question, says they are.  And that just plain sucks.  As an active member of the blogosphere and a social media advocate, I want to know what everyone has to say.  Whether, it's good, bad, or ugly.  Without it, we limit the sharing model that both communities are based upon.  In addition, taking part in this practice, strips away potential discussions that can change perspective and diminishes your readers from wanting to participate.  Do you moderate your comments?  Why or why not?

Final thought: Grrrrrrr
