		<description>Nishadha, Gem, Roxxymetal, thanks my friends for the help. 

I think I have to set my comment moderation into semi-moderated setting as Gem pointed out, then allow only one or two links as Nishadha suggested, and of course check the &quot;Comment author must have a previously approved comment&quot; as Kevin reminded. 

Haha, I love this. I learned from you guys.</description>

		<description>Yeah there are alot of people that don&#039;t like the comment moderation but I feel it&#039;s a must because I get tons of spam and if you are trying to post a real valid comment then it shouldn&#039;t really matter. That&#039;s just the way I feel.</description>

		<description>I also get to have problems on spam too. My blog is hosted in Wordpress.com, so I get to have Akismet to help me moderate my blog. It is very effective, it just like the spam feature that free email services have.

I cannot turn on full comment moderation because it wastes time. I use &quot;semi&quot;-moderated settings for my comments: the first time commenter for the blog gets to pass moderation first, but once that the commenter&#039;s comment is approved, subsequent comments are not anymore moderated.</description>

		<description>Also if you can set the maximum number of links that should be in a comment , spammers tend to leave lots of links so better to set it to 1 or 2 and you can reduce lots of spam comments.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t forget to check
&lt;b&gt;Before a comment appears&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Comment author must have a previously approved comment&lt;/i&gt;

having that checked will ensure that the comments that get automatically approved are from people that you know.

Else, if you mean moderating every single comment; it&#039;s not really recommended.

Why?
Because me (having comment notifier activated) can&#039;t live with moderating every single comment. I need to attend classes, and my readers leave comments from time to time during the whole day when I&#039;m unable to approve them. It would cut a *gap* between the discussion of my commenters on the blog.</description>
