Moderating comments

With great power comes great responsibility. You own your blog/site and you should moderate your comments. Because your blog is open to the entire world, you will get various people writing comments. This is how it works. When someone writes a comment on your blog, you will receive an email with a link to approve, disapprove or mark as spam. It is as simple as clicking on one of those links!

1. “Approve” - This means that when somebody writes a comment, it will not appear on your blog till you click on the “Approve” link in your email. When you click on that link, you will be taken to a confirmation page where you can edit the comment or just approve it. After that, it will appear on your site.
2. “Disapprove” - Clicking on this link will take you to a confirmation page where you can disapprove which means it will not appear on your site.
3. “Spam” - Clicking on this link will mark that comment as spam. Spam comments are inevitable but we can work to minimize the amount you receive. They generally are not humans, but programs that hunt the internet and find blogs and leave comments to sell drugs and even offensive websites. Just mark these as spam.

You can also modify a comment later. If you log in to your admin panel and click on “Comments” menu you will see the list of comments, you can search for a specific comment and edit it or delete it or mark as spam.
