I use WordPress’ comment engine, and I have it set to moderate the first comment from someone. It works beautifully for me. The only comments that I actually delete are the ones that are clearly spam, but somehow Akismet missed them, or that are just vulgar screeds, or have nothing to do with the post. I haven’t had any backlash, but of course my traffic is not that great…

That’s a good idea…I may have to try that out if (actually when) I receive a comment so bad that I have to delete it — with this political season I’m sure to get a few!

I’ve had one since almost the beginning and when I delete a comment and get a nasty email, I just link the policy in the reply email. Its necessary to protect yourself. And the main reason is your #1 above — people have no manners.

Bottom line for me is, “Your site, your rules.” I filter all comments so it’s my rules without a policy. Heck, I let my friends post negative comments cause I know where they come from. The guy with digital courage of posting nonsense is less likely to return when I filter. I care little for him to return anyways.
