I generally leave mine open, but its set to moderation, with Akismet on guard. Had a few incidents with link droppers that darn near caused a global meltdown of my face. Lol. Blog comments are good, if you can moderate them. Its a tad sneaky, but I've heard that some bloggers use spam posts, edit them, remove links, and then approve it.
