blogs are made for people to comment , what may be irrelevant to you may be relevent to someone else.. if you dont want people to post links , remove the ability to post links, its hardly fair to tell someone , post stuff , but if i dont like it i will harass your advertisers.. dont get me wrong i totally understand where your coming from , i run mainstream blogs myself , dont like getting the spm , but theres a proper way to go about it, i.e. you cant just say " dont post irrelevant comments" and assume thats enough.. If someone is repeatedly hitting your site with bots and you have implicitly required they dont, then post some proof and i'm on your side too.
