Blog Admin Nazis and Link Love

In an attempt to fight the evil legions of spammers that threaten to descend upon blogs everywhere, some bloggers have taken up arms and become what I endearingly refer to as "Blog Admin Nazis". Despite the "U Comment, I Follow" badges that adorn their pages, these warriors will not hesitate to decapitate your comment with one swift click of the mouse.

But is this fair? Is this in alignment with the "Do Follow" movement? Certainly spam needs to be deleted. Little one line comments like "Loved this post!", or "I agree with Tom!" certainly deserve to vanish. However, my understanding of the “Do Follow” concept was that people who take the time to write a thoughtful post on a dofollow blog have earned the right to a link. Naturally, I’ve been surprised to visit some blogs that proudly display the “U Comment, I Follow” logo, and when I take the time to write out a thoughtful, on-target post, they remove my link, but keep my post. To me that is the ultimate insult. I’d rather them delete the post entirely then to keep my contribution, but deny me a link.

There you have it. You will find no Blog Admin Nazis on this site. Nothing but link love for those who take the time to write a thoughtful comment.
