1) I am watching u
2) Comment moderation adds up to scarse traffic like losses do. I suggest u hide the option allowing others to comment, at all.
You must be having a bad day, Sergipavl, so I'll forgive you for making me feel like a nitwit. "comment moderation adds up to scarSe traffic like losses do" makes absolutely no sense to me.
Consider your suggestion unheeded. I welcome most comments about me. What I don't like is to give those that launch personal attacks at me the satisfaction of having their views aired. I reject also comments from folks that put others (ie. the others who comment) down either unknowingly or deliberately. Comment moderation is to keep hostile and haughty people at bay. My blog is a friendly place.
Since you got me started, and I'm in a good mood today, I'll share how I feel about blogging so far.
3 words describe it all: I LOVE IT.
What I cherish most: advice and friendship from experienced traders who have been big-hearted enough to show me the way. They have helped me in ways that no books or trainers could ever have, and because of them, I don't feel so alone in what seemed at first to be an impossible quest. I've been given tips and information, entire methodologies, moral support, guidance, and most importantly, questions challenging me to find out who I really am (which is probably the first thing anyone considering trading for a living should ask himself/herself).
Lord Tedders, Harry, Moyo, Sage, The Lonely Trader, HPT, Cory, Solfest, FX, Don, Propriety Trader , Common Sense, and Rxforex13 are among those that I want to say a big "Thank you" to. I hold them in high regards, not just for their knowledge of the market and in what they are doing, but also for their willingness to take the time to help others who are just beginning to take the journey they've begun long ago, probably without the kind of help I'm seeing today via blogs and forums and such.
They have been more than inspirational.
I can see that when it comes to trading, especially in FX, you've come a long way. While you can certainly be a kick ass coach and mentor, you've chosen to antagonize the very community I'm assuming you can't live without.
I don't know what your motivations are, and I don't care. I just think it's a pity that you are probably too opinionated to see what you're missing out on the blogosphere.

OK maybe twas too harsh)
I wanted to point out that u can moderate after the comment is made & posted. People want to see their comments right away when they make effort to reply.
I never said I like your blog. Till now))
I like your reflections. I like your photo(1st n last one I guess))
Losses tend to compound)
Well, thanks, Sergipavl, for liking my photos. What an ego booster!
I haven't assumed that you like my blog. I was merely referring to "traffic" and pointing out that traffic is NOT what I value.
I'm continuing to publish your comments only coz you said you like my photos. LOL!!
Ok, let's stop being childish and get on with work.
Jules, u r right. If one has time he/she MUST moderate comments. I for example have this feature turned on for "relationviews" but off for "indexviews". The reason is - at times I hardly have time to check my mails, AND just for my friends, I don't want to disappoint them and wait too long for their comments to be published.
But if one is "available" often, then comment moderation must be turned on, for the reasons you already specified in your post.
Harry Darling!!!!!!!!!!
Always a comfort to see you :-)
Regarding publishing of comments - I have to admit that I tend to be slow in even noticing that there are comments!
I know, I'm hopeless....
Jules,
It's your blog. Run it the way you see fit. On my blog I don't have any moderation on (moderate after the fact). As several have pointed out - this means spam (haven't had any haters - yet). I have to clean up said spam after the fact. Of course the benefit is allowing my friends to post quickly even if I'm away.
But really why are we arguing about this...? I don't see the big deal. It's a personal blogger decision.

Lovely post...Jules on point on comment moderation, it is the most ANNOYING thing to see derogatory offensive comments on the internet (youtube....eeew), we all have opinions, but courtesy demands that we respect others.
Also Sergipavl it's true that people like to see their comments immediately, but if you have a blog that gets hit hard by spammers, you would surely want moderation on.
Oh Jules btw, I added you as a friend because of your profile pic on blog catalog ;-)
LT, you were spammed too? I know that Lonely Trader's blog was, and TraderGav's was hijacked.
Yes, it's my blog, but I often neglect to check for comments when I'm getting my head around other stuff...
Thank you, Moyo, that's really flattering, considering that I've always been known to be ultra camera-UNfriendly :-)
How have you been keeping?
Give 'em hell Jules ~ even if it's just fer fun. I for one don't mind rudeness, but I appreciate it more when it is witty. Some people need to be "called out". I am not very witty, so I must live vicariously through others -- unfortunately, often at my own expense. Sometimes rudeness stirs the pot. Sometimes friction gets passions flowing and ideas growing. Hey, that's just me. I don't mind the heat. Like LT said, it's your blog. Run it the way you want. I, for one, won't expect any apologies.
Keep the fires burning!
Don't egg me on, TLT. I am trying to be a nice girl! :-)
I have moderation on for good reason. I also make it so anonymous people can't leave comments, they must have an id of some sort (google, blogger, etc). I do this because I get really mean comments sometimes from anonymous people and adding this step deters them from doing so.
Happy Holidays,
HPT
Good to hear from you, HPT :-)
Those AH that leave those nasty comments should be slapped. Don't be affected by them, don't give them any attention. You have been more than generous with sharing information, tips and your own experience, and you should be proud.
Thanks for dropping by. You have a wonderful holiday too.
HPT gets mean comments because he takes risks that others wouldn't. They're just envious that he is a better trader than they are.
(HPT, I'm not mocking you. I'm serious.)
