Comment Screening

Yo!

So, as you may have noticed, LJ instituted a new spam setting in all communities. Links from domains that are not "white-listed" in comments will cause a comment to be screened. It is a big pain in the butt. I have encountered it in veganfoodpics in veganland, and in naturalliving in non-veganland. I turned off the setting in v_s, mostly just to be sure that I could ( Read more... )

No problem! At first I thought that a post I commented on had comments screened... then I thought I must have done something wrong in some community to get my commenting rights taken away. Then I googled. :-)

Also, good job, whoever un-did the setting on v_p!

yeah, i just went through and undid it on all of the major communities i mod.

Well that explains that post the other day where I saw a totally normal response to a question get screened as spam. I was all like, "Whaaaaaa?" Thank you to whoever turned it off in VP!

From the home page I went to communities->manage->profile, then there a sentence above the profile settings that says "Here's where you fill out your Profile page.

Click on comment settings, then the option is "spam protection."

You can also go to Profile > Settings and select the name of the comm in the drop-down menu at the top of the page (marked "Work as user").

Or use this URL format: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=privacy&authas=COMM_NAME_HERE
