What's with my comments?

[michele]

On an entry where I had checked that comments are allowed and did not check they require moderation a site visitor's comment did indeed require approval? Is there a way to not make comments require approval? I know that can allow spammers, but I constantly check and delete the crap. Do I not somehow understand the settings that it made the comment require moderation?

More importantly, comments on this same entry are DISPLAYING THE EMAIL ADDRESSES!!!! Not cool. I do not want that even if they have a bit of spam protection in them on display - not good enough. Where is this setting - how do I get the email from displaying or do I have to edit the template directly?

Please help.

Hi!

Please check the confiugration of the "spamblock" plugin.

There you can both disable any anti-spam measurements that will moderate entries, and set email addresses to be hidden.

It was checked, unchecked and rechecked and resaved.

I was logged in to my account. This is something shown for admins, but not general visitors?

Thank you so much for the quick response! The support around here is some of the best I've seen anywhere.

Hi Michele!

I'm a bit confused now - what do you mean with "shown for admins, but not general visitors"?

Thanks for your kind words about the support - I try to do my best.

I was using Firefox with one tab for the Admin area and another for the blog itself. While logged into the Admin it showed the email on the blog. When I logged out it was no longer shown.

I just figured it was seeing that I was already logged in and was showing me more information that a visitor would see. Was that not the case?

Hi!

Ah, that's what you meant. Yeah! If you are logged in to your backend, s9y also knows you're logged into the frontend and will do some things for you (like links to edit an entry). Also by default logged in users do not need to enter Captchas or pass other anti-spam measurements

Best regards,
Garvin

I guess this shows I haven't had a great many comments yet.

Hopefully, this thread will be helpful to someone else with this "problem".
