Boos recent post, Here's to more comments prompted me to write this post. She writes about lurkers and the move to delurk them. Read about it on her post.
I myself love to have comments to my posts and also responses to my comments. :)
In my travels across the blogworld, I've come across some interesting Comment policies. I did think that some of them were interesting reads by themselves. Unfortunately I did not keep a tab on the sites.
Here are some that I can recall:
Here's what Shelly has on her blog Retrospectacle
Commenter Policy:
I love constructive comments! However, I reserve the right to delete comments that abuse this forum. Voicing your opinions is great, just be respectful. :D
She also asks a question: Is Commenting a Right?
Kevin Vranes of No Se Nada has this comment policy
Mike the Mad Biologist says: Comment policy: say what you want, but back it up with an email address. I don't like anonymous trolls.
Razib of Gene expression has this comment policy
Many of the above were from scienceblogs. Now here's one with a religious background
One of the most comprehensive comment policies that I have seen is that of Thinking Girl.
The Darwiniana comment policy states that good comments may be converted into separate posts! That's nice.
How about your own comment policy?
In case you don't have one - here's a post on developing a blog comment policy.
Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive survey of all possible blog policies. Most were from Scienceblogs and random selections based on a search of blogs using the search string Comment policy

well all of us at the blogosphere like comments dont we..
my policy is simple say whatever you like..i dont care after all you atleast took the time to read my blabber and say something abt it..
hello Visitor - thanks for including a link to my comment policy! I actually wish more people would read it before they comment on my blog. I actually recently edited my comment policy, because I had a troll who was really pissing me off. I used to just allow anyone to say whatever they wanted to say, and I would simply argue with them if I didn't agree with them, but over the past little while I've gotten more traffic from people who are really saying nasty things, including this one guy who has been very tenacious in spewing his misogynistic views. I have asked him not to come back, but he keeps on coming. and so I do not allow him to publish comments on my blog anymore. Also, I used to sift through my spam catcher to try and catch comments that might have been marked as spam, but the amount of spam I have gotten has increased a LOT (like more than 200/day) and so I just delete them all now automatically without looking through them. who has the time? not me!
I agree but one doesn't always have time to l;eave comment on every single blog one goes to. Consider people like you. You'd have to have this as a career.;-)
did u read my thoughts on comments- kuch to log kahenga....
Hey, nice concept! I find your blog much easier to go thru - few words, to the point sentences, and good links too!
guess i will use u as a seive to the blogs around.. :)
