New admin features: max thread depth, word filters

There were a couple small things added for blog admins (moderators) this week.

Under the Access & Moderators tab, you are now able to set words that you don’t want posted on your blog. Comments containing any of those words will be put in moderation for your approval (or, more likely, disapproval).
Take a look under the Configure tab. There’s a new option that enables you to set the max thread depth for replies. If you have a narrow page design, a busy conversation with multiple replies may not work too well. You can force the replies to stop threading after 1, 2, or any number of posts.

Have a great weekend, folks! See you at Startup School if you’ll be there.

Moderating words is a good implementation. I have come across people with superb English that allows them to put in the specific keyword that they want people to see almost at every comment

Personally, I felt that controlling the number of replies doesn't appear to be useful. I did see people getting this implemented on their blog and I find it bothersome as I always have to click in to see what other people comment on their page. Probably controlling the number of comments on a page will be a better option?

I am thinking how do Disqus get so many ideas to work on? Do users have so many ideas that they seriously felt that it is necessary? Moderation and controlling the number of replies is what I am looking for.
