In the PDF that comes with Blog 4 Umbraco (titled "Usage and Configuration") it mentions "Comment Moderation" in one list of content that supposedly is going to be presented in the document. The PDF then mentions nothing about actual comment moderation.
How do I:
1) Make sure user comments can only appear after a moderator allows them
2) Edit comments through the Umbraco web interface
2) In the Ucomment package I know that your "content" pane will be changed to show a list over comments that you can then moderate and the Ucomment package as far as i know is "extracted" from blog 4 umbraco..
Yes, I see how to access the "Comments" tab on the "Content" folder with my list of comments. But it appears that all new comments are automatically approved and display on the site immediately. I want to make it so comments need to be manually approved. How do I make it so comments are not automatically in the "approved" state when added?
2) AFAIK, this isn't possible w/o going through the database. I know Wordpress has that ability but I don't ever recall using it in all of my years using Wordpress.

dfarrow,
The comment moderation in Blog 4 Umbraco and UComment is better described as a spam filter. This caught me off guard at first.
1) You can make every comment appear as spam and mark comments as ham to "approve" them: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/blog-4-umbraco/using-blog-4-umbraco/7079-Comment-Moderation,-How You could also extend the package to properly moderate comments. Tim did a great job on laying the project out and making easy to do this.
2) AFAIK, this isn't possible w/o going through the database. I know Wordpress has that ability but I don't ever recall using it in all of my years using Wordpress.

I used the SpamChecker class and created my own "Checker".
I blogged about it here if you're interested: http://www.proworks.com/blog/2010/06/17/how-to-moderate-all-comments-in-blog-4-umbraco/
So, is better to use UComment for page comments?
is working on a reply...
