Though as many of you said, you just don't moderate them :) I guess if you site had a lot of commenting happening then it might take a while to moderate all of those who are new.

I don't get that many comments so haven't need to worry about it as much. I only delete comments only if they’re spam or simply too offensive.

I still comment on the blogs that are moderated, but it's nice to see your comment posted right away. BTW .. I like the (not so) new theme.

You don't have to 'signup' to submit comments (which I like) so if you've never been to a particular blog before you just type in your info (name, email, url) enter your message and hit submit!

I moderate the first one, then it's fair game. I agree with Keira-Anne, I do the same. I moderate the first one, then it’s fair game.

I do believe that having one's comments moderated each and every time might deter someone from commenting. In my view, a large part of blogging is rooted in sharing ideas and generating conversation. It's hard to get the ball rolling on a discussion if everyone's input and thoughts are put on hold.
