The importance of moderating your blog comments

Monday, March 8th, 2010

After receiving several abusive comments from (you know who you are), bloggers should moderate your blog’s comments from those netizens who will simply comments just to ticks bloggers off. This action is the same as accusing and condemning reputation of someone’s blog.

I am pretty sure most of us (bloggers) had experienced this situation before. Some have choose to moderate comments before it can appear publicly. Majority of abusive commentors will use fake emails, these people are irresponsible, unethical and afraid to reveal their real identity for their own comments.

In this world, some may agree or disagree with a topic from a blog. But then again, accusation is a not excusable. You can’t simply accuse someone whom you don’t know in reality.

The situation is the same action as stepping into a cafeteria X brand and yelling and shouting to their customers their coffee sucks!. Yeah, you may shout and yell as loudly as you like. Their supervisor might kick you out. Anyway who would do that action, it’s so silly.

The same goes here, negative comments and accusation on someone else blog and you know who will kick you out? Nay, i can’t kick anybody out because it’s a blog. But as a blog owner, i can moderate abusive comments. Isn’t it wonderful.

I have a great suggestion for abusive commentators, they should set up their own blog and post more of these comments just to create some fun for themselves. I mean, perhaps is their interest since they love to abuse other’s people blog why not abuse own blog.

Engadget solution to abusive comments.  We’re turning comments off for a bit

What type of blogger are you?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Ever wonder what type of blogger are you? When i came across a form where i need to create a new account and below there is a form asking you to describe about yourself. What would be most approriate to describe you and also your blog website? Okay, for me i blog about everything that crosses my mind.Fine, i don’t know how to describe about myself. I googled and found a site that categorize bloggers. The most suitable type of blogger to label me is “Random Blogger”.

What do you think?

  • Authority Blogger- Authority Bloggers blog to build a profile, credibility, loyalty, demonstrate and share expertise.
  • Relationship Blogger - They blog to make contacts and community. eg: Relationship Blog.
  • Pro Blogger- Pro Bloggers blog for direct income, such as Adsense or working for a blog network.
  • Diarist / Journal – Possibly the most famous type of blogger, diarists use blogs as an online diary and just want to share their thoughts and life events.
  • Fan/Hobby - Hobby bloggers write about their fascinations, get a kick out of sharing with like-minded people and they need no more reward.
  • Random – Random bloggers just post cool stuff they find or whatever random thoughts are on their minds at that point. They don’t post for any conscious reason, just because they can.
  • Business / Corporate – You blog for your company, either posting news, for public relations or to generate leads.
  • Citizen Journalist – you are a journalist or not, the citizen tag is not necessary. You scoop the news and write about it.
