I get so frustrated with "your reply must be approved" on blogs....

Nothing bugs me more than entering a comment only to find the blog is moderated and my comment must be approved.

Do you want conversation? If so - conversation is the free flow of dialogue. That means - you say something, I say something, you reply, I reply and so on.

If you moderate your blog here - it more or less says "I am here to tell you what I think" which is not the way a thriving community continues to grow.

Thank you.

No more quoting Ghandi or Abe Lincoln sure is gonna be a lot of "moderatin be goin on". That is about as as sensical as, "how dare you attack my expert, i will silence you sucker."

He opines that if he posts the whole article here then Google will do something nasty to his SEO because it is a duplicate. He doesn't understand syndication. But he's a job search coach with 30,ooo linkedin connections blogging for business to come to his site so go figure. Half a blog is just a cheap way to advertise his Job coaching. Business must be slow for the job search coaching folks they are blogging like there is no tomorrow and no more suckers left on twitter.
