Part of running a community-centric blog is moderating the comments. I mentioned that it is a time consuming task when I gave the reasons for moderating<\/a> so today I’m sharing some ideas for saving time when moderating comments on your blog.<\/p>\n

In no particular order, here are my tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ensure you have a spam filter on your blog so the really obvious spam is off your list to moderate<\/li>\n
  2. consider outsourcing the comment moderation. However, make sure you still look often so you can reply to any comments or have your support person tell you if there is a comment waiting for your reply<\/li>\n
  3. set up some rules so certain people’s comments are automatically accepted – they see their comment instantly and you save a little time. You may do this for a select group or perhaps for everyone who has had a comment accepted in the past<\/li>\n
  4. have a procedure<\/a> that includes rules for your blog as this will save you time in deciding if a comment is acceptable<\/a>. For example, they must have a real name not a tagline as their username, use a real URL not a shortened URL and can only include a link if genuinely adding to the conversation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
