No, If the comments have been made in the right spirit and after reading the complete blog post. There are two aspects of blogging; Blog Posts & Comments and the comments are considered to be good for a blog. But some blogger prevent readers from commenting on their blog by deactivating the comments feature.
It's fair enough if the post has already received a no. of comments and there is no scope for further commenting. But can it be justified for a new post that has the right to receive comments. What I can make out of this is that either they consider their post complete & final word on the topic or want to get rid of spammers.
Moreover, deactivating the comments is no solution to the problem even for getting rid of spammers. What can be done is to motivate the readers to write meaningful and real comments. Also, the readers of a blog hardly gets any space in a blog post except in the comments section. Unlike other blogger, I am taking the the initiative to give my readers the credit they may deserve. Because a post can not said be complete unless it has got some comments. This post is nothing but a collection of best comments that I have received over the time on my blog. And to be fair enough I have selected only a few good comments as per the following criteria:
- If the comment has something to complement my post
- If the comment is not a spam, I mean it is not written for the purpose of putting a link on by blog or for any commercial purpose
- If the comment is not generic or duplicate
- If it is written about an error or mistake in my article
- If it's a natural comment that means reader liked/disliked the article and virtually forced to make a comment
- If the comment is not a one word comment like "Great Post" or "Thanks"
- If the comment is meaningful and has come after reading the article
