Moderating your comments--how to increase feedback and limit spam

Okay, we  all love comments, well most comments.  Those that are down right nasty or just spam, we can live without.  So how do you make sure you don't get some of the later?
Well there are a couple of ways
1.  When choosing "who can comment" click "registered user"  This will eliminate most spam type comments.
2. Under "comment moderation" click "Always".  This means that you will see the comment before it is published and can decide if you want to publish it.
3.  Under "word verification" click "no".  I know this proves you are not a robot.  But honestly, if you are going to moderate your comments, you don't need this step.  Personally, I rarely comment on those that have word verification.
See the screen shot for below.
I should mention that this is how it works with Blogger (google) not sure if it will be applicable to all blogs.
