Pre-moderation mode

We’d like to have a pre-moderation mode for comments

I second this! I’m on Blogger, and I moderate the comments before posting them to avoid trolls. So a widget that allows this would be awesome.

Hi @Max ,

How is this different from the below found here, Best Comments widget for website | Add Comments plugin [ 2026 ] ?

MODERATION & CONTROL
Full control with built-in protection
Manage comments the way you want: approve, delete, restore, or invite moderators to help. Spam and bot protection is built in, keeping conversations clean and relevant without extra effort.

With thanks,

mw :man_technologist:t5: :sparkles:

Hi there, @iammasterweb :waving_hand:

Thanks a lot for flagging this up and apologies for the confusing info!

I’ve passed it to our Content Team and they’ll adjust info on the product page :slightly_smiling_face:

Many thanks for your help, we really appreciate it!

It’s hard to definitely say now how the moderation options will be implemented, but I think you might be right :slightly_smiling_face:

I want to use the comments widget but the option to moderate (delete etc) is only available after the comment is live. I have a high traffic site and if I get 100 spam comments then deleting them immediately will be a hassle and time consuming.

Is something like this already there?

Hi there, @user37897 :waving_hand:

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

Unfortunately, this feature isn’t supported yet, but this idea is already on the Wishlist. I’ve moved your comment to the related thread where we’ll keep you updated :slightly_smiling_face:
