Keep the Top Commentators Going?
As many of you know I recently installed the Top Commentator widget for MoreMerchant.com. So far so good. The spamming comments have definitely picked up a tad but I have managed them pretty well.
What do you think? Keep the Top Comment plugin going? Do you feel that this is a good way to build a blog? Comments are good but are they good if they don’t add to the conversation?

It’s up to you really. If you find that the spam comments are taking up too much of your time, then you’d be free to turn it off. As a reader, it is a nice feature to see, but it isn’t crucial.
(And as a side-note, it’s nice to see me ahead of John Chow. I always knew I was better.

I’ve been using it on two of my sites and have been pleased with the results. There haven’t been too many problems with spam comments and most of them contribute nicely, so it is nice to reward those people with a link.
