If someone has a valid comment, I don’t mind linking to their site. But those that are nothing but a blatant advertisement, I just delete. Seems like I get a lot more spam comments lately.

If I get a really bad comment, I'm more likely just to delete it than edit it out. But even if I'm not 100% happy with it but it's still okay, I'll leave the comment. People do have the right to voice their own opinion on my blog. I know it's my blog and they're my comments, but I am interested in what people have to say even if it can be negative sometimes. But of course, if I did get a comment where someone gave out some very personal information, I would delete it. It's not that I'm afraid of being held responsible or connected to any other group, but I don't want someone to get their hands on someone else's info. Once again, great post. I look forward to reading more from you. :) Becky,

Creating an atmosphere of such negativity is also something you should try to do on your blog.

While the comment clearly belongs to the commentor, the blog owner has the right to post, edit, or delete the comment itself. Never once was there a mentioning of the blog owner taking credit or claiming copyrights to the comment itself, so there is no such thing as violating copyrights here. Deleting or dismissing a commment altogether is the sole discretion of the blog owner. Editing is to delete unwanted language or other unwanted comments. Just because you are editing a comment or omitting unwanted information, does not mean you are violating the copyright laws, afterall, the blog owner never claim they wrote the comment nor would they edit it in a way to make it seem like they made the comment themselves.

If one is out of place, delete it as you see fit. Don't ever alter people's comments. If you're too fussy about comments, set up moderation. Spam is an overplayed word. You don't need a rocket scientist to control comments coming to your blog. NO big deal as far as comments are concerned. If one is out of place, delete it as you see fit.

If you are editing them to change someone's main point, this would not be fair use IMHO, but if you wanted to remove expletives from a post, I think this is something you are entitled to do.

You may say that editing comments can deter commentators, this may be true, but if you run a business blog, some comments may be totally inappropriate and not in-line with what you want your corporate image to be.

If you start messing with what people say then people will get angry. Akismet for spam, and let the rest slide, nofollowing links if need be. Moderation is rarely needed.

I agree with you that we need a policy to stick to when moderating out comments.
