 * Don’t bother unless your site is going to be bombarded with traffic and comments.

 * Well is it not traffic we want? and are you talking about spambots that will 
   post comments?
 * Thanks for your reply Donncha

 * Lockdown was designed for when you know you’re going to get a deluge of hits,
   say from digg.com or techcrunch. For normal traffic if you have to enable it 
   and still want to let people comment on your site then you need a bigger server
   because your normal traffic is too much.

 * Even with it enabled your site could still crash if you got a huge deluge of 
   traffic. Don’t bother with lockdown unless your server is really struggling to
   cope with traffic.
