Yahoo did this first. They weren't keen on the peanut gallery making inappropriate comments on serious articles.

I have a peanut gallery, I mean Comments button on my website for my mobile apps. It sends me an email and sits in a moderation bin. They are always support oriented so it works out great. This way spam is also directed to my email instead of the website.
