Types of comments and moderation tips for your blog
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 8:04 am
A comment is the greatest reward I can receive when I write a post. I also like critical comments because they challenge you and make you see other perspectives. Sometimes comments are borderline because they attack us or third parties. How can we react to these comments?

With the first comments on our blog comes a bit of pride (at least in my case) in having contributed something that has created value for readers. Over time we see that not all comments are positive. The question now is how do we react when we are attacked , criticized or rumors are created about people outside who cannot defend themselves directly. Here are my tips for moderating blog comments:
How to respond to comments on a blog
Positive comments : Be humble when your readers take the time to korea mobile phone number leave a comment. The least you can do is say thank you .
Consultation comments : I try to respond to all comments. Although I cannot address everything in detail, I will try to respond with some ideas and recommendations .
Contradictory comments : Use these comments to encourage conversation . You may be wrong about things you say. Admit it and correct it if necessary.
Criticism and attack comments : My personal policy is to publish them. So far, no one has insulted me. I publish the comment but I do not respond to unjustified criticism. If the criticism is justified, I take advantage of the situation to express my point of view.
Troll comments that provoke you : I usually post most of the comments. I wouldn't reply to this type of comment so as not to give trolls more encouragement .
Insulting and provoking comments : As I said, I have not received any insulting comments so far (everything will come). I would not publish them because I think it is disrespectful and it is not how two adults should communicate.
Comments about third parties : My advice is not to leave a comment that creates a rumor about another person without a response. Even if we don't have the answer, it is good to emphasize that it is a rumor or that what you have commented remains to be verified.
