Comments are opened publication by publication, and nothing appears without going through moderation.
Comments, as a reader sees them
Under an article, the comments as readers see them: threaded replies, reactions, and the form to write one's own.
Moderation: nothing appears without it
Moderation puts every comment in one of three states: pending, approved or spam. Nothing appears on the public site without first going through this screen.
Around moderation
- Threaded replies, under the comment they answer.
- Reactions, for readers who want to respond without writing.
- A checkbox on the publication to close comments on one article.
- A client site can live without it: the module switches off in the settings, and nothing else notices.
