And your reasons for moderating make great sense. What's "seo"? By the way in terms of "carrot and stick" your readers should know that you are very generous about inviting readers to post guest articles - that invitation was extended to me (and I took advantage of it - lot more work than going wordy in comments) and also to Till. And really a benevolent dictatorship is the only way to go, and your characters limit is really generous. I think that's plenty enough to allow the interesting give and take, push and pull that has made the comments sections of your articles surprisingly lively, often akin to a forum but with the greater focus provided by your articles. I guess a good blog has to walk a narrow path between the often inane comments on some blogs (Zen Habits come to mine, the comments are often fawning) and unintentional blog hijacking....

Perhaps this comment is a good start. Cheers! I think this is actually a good idea even if I will have to pace myself. ;)
