Many bloggers are very sensitive about comments. Some of us take reader’s comments very personally, even make a special entry to explain about those ‘negative comments’.
What’s the negative comments?
I use the term to symbolize the unwanted comments, criticism, cynicism, and any comments those welcome uneasy feeling to the blog owner.
Things are not always honest and transparent in blogging world. You don’t know who read your blogs, and you don’t know they are friends or foes.
When you write and publicize your blog, some things you have to bear in mind:
- Your blog can be read by anybody.
- You can’t stop anyone from reading your blog (even if you keep on saying “If you don’t like my blog, please leave”, but people are people).
- You can stop anyone from commenting your entry.
Responding to comments is one of the important things to make visitors keep on coming to your blog. But, bear in kind that there’s somebody judging you out there, so don’t waste your time ‘serving’ the bad comments, either in your blog (by responding, writing special entry, etc.) or in real world (by thinking about the comment seriously and keep on asking e.g. “Am I that bad?”, “Am I this and that?”, etc.). You might not everyone knows about your weakness.
What you can do to stop comments from unwanted commentators:
- Make your blog private.Invite only your friends and families, or anyone you want your stories to be read, and responded accordingly.
- Lock the entry and only give password to those you like and like you.
- Moderate comments. You can select comments you want to display and diapprove comments you don’t want your readers to see.
- Delete those bad comments.
- Hide comment box so that nobody could leave comments on your entry.
Try to not to be too emotional when writing by taking those rude comments personally. Thanks to the commentator and keep on writing. Sometimes the rude comments are kind of free reminders.
And hey, between:
“You look so pretty in that make up! You are superb! Your are star!”
and
“You look horrible in that make up”
Which comment you think the honest one?

i’d prefer honest comments.. but then, mmg yer, ramai blogger yg takleh terima critism..
sedar tak sedar, kadang2.. kita menjadi hipokrit dgn hanya melemparkan kata2 manis sajek.

[REPLY]
yup honest comments.. tp, some of the comments tu lebih kepada kutukan..
sometimes tu, kita maksudkan benda lain. tp, reader pulak baca from different angle. so, end up, -ve comment la.

setuju buat tak tau je..bagi sy, why blog kalau tak nak org baca? dah namenye blogging, memang la semua leh baca…kalo wat private sy tak bpe setuju lah…kalau wat moderate comment tu ok…
yang penting, kalau tak berani terima negative comments, jgn lah buat negative entry atau entry yang boleh mengundang komen2 sedemikian…
