Dave Winer had an idea that, I personally think, is quite stupid. I seriously don’t think it will work because nobody, besides him (and maybe Joi) spend every moment of their time blogging. I, personally, have better things to do in my life then check my comments every day.
Here’s a free idea I had the other day while cleaning up a spewage of comment spam. What if comments, by default, were deleted after 24 hours? What if the owner of the site had to check a box in order for a comment not to be deleted? That way if a comment had lasting value, the owner of the site could make sure it sticks around.
I haven’t had very many problems with comment spam, mainly because I don’t get very much traffic. Actually, I have had none since the move to Movable Type 3. These two do not correlate but it is kind of weird because MT-Blacklist has issues with MT3. (via James Seng)
