Many of you might have noticed that Blogger has made some Cool
Improvements to its Commenting System. Blogger has introduced an
improved Spam Filter and a Comment Inbox. Most of you must have noticed
the new “Comment” tab in your Dashboard (This may not be present on all
blogs. Blogger is in the process of rolling out this feature to all
users)
Comment Inbox
Blogger has introduced the “Comment Inbox” where you can view all the
Comments published on your blog.The Comment Inbox has Sub tabs namely
Published ,
Awaiting Moderation and
Spam
Comment Spam Filtering
Most web forms are targeted my spammers and bots. Most Blogging
Platforms have their own ways of keeping the bots and spammers away. Blogger uses Akismet for this process.Blogger has its own filtering
mechanism to keep the odd ones out. Now Blogger improved its spam
fighting mechanisms by integrating Google’s Spam Filtering Technologies
into Blogger. Blogger will automatically detect Spam comments and move
them to Spam in your Comment Inbox. The comments in the Spam Inbox are
not visible in your blog. You can mark Comments as Spam and move them to
the Spam Inbox.You can also mark comments as Not Spam that have been
incorrectly classified or marked as spam and the comment will be
immediately published on to your blog.
What do you think of the new additions?
