Steps

- Under How comments are checked, choose one:
- Check before showing. A reader posts at 9:00. It appears only after you approve it. Safest, but needs someone to check often.
- Show first, check later. It shows at once. Readers can report it and you check the queue later.
- No checks. Comments show at once and are looked at only when readers report them.
- Tap Save.
