Comment Moderation....
Comment moderation is when the publisher of the blog (that's me) reads the comment first and then decides whether to not to publish it. I don't use it across the board very much, hardly ever in fact and Tonbridge Blog has only ever censored or deleted a handful of comments in over four years. I do generally keep an eye on older comments, which currently are being comment moderated. The main reason for this is to avoid spam comments designed to direct the reader to unsavory web sites and direct selling sites. If you have noticed delays in your comments going on against posts over two weeks old then that's the reason. I did lift it altogether for a recent post which attract way more comments than usual but have now reintroduced it. If it gets too annoying I'll lift it again....

Are you aware that to publish a libel renders you as liable for legal action as the person posting the original comment?
Blogs are not exempt from the libel laws.
