    I am just setting up my blog and sent a test response to my first post. It is asking me to “Approve” the response to my post. What are the implications if I approve the comment or not?

    I you approve it then the comment will show up on the Post it is attached to – this lets you do a final filter to make sure no spam gets onto your site or say language you did not want ( obscenities on a children’s blog for instance )

    If you trash it – it just goes away

    If you Spam it, then Akismet marks that person as a potential spammer – that is part of Akismet’s learning curve so it counts on your help to catch spam
