How do I enable comments to post directly (so i don't have to approve them). I thought I saw this option somewhere but now I can't seem to find it..
Thanks
I wouldn't suggest doing that. Someone could put pure spam or advertisments for their own purposes in a comment. It has happened to me.
That's good advice.. if that were to happen could I not delete it?
Unless you tick 'do not post comments without approval' they are posted directly on your hub..You can delete comments or mark them as spam if you think they are ..it is your hub and you can do pretty much what you want with the comments - approve or delete as you think fit.
I must have checked that little box.. soooo how/where do I uncheck?
In Hub-Edit mode, go to the comments capsule and click to Edit it. It will then offer a slew of options, including whether the comments appear before they are approved. Be sure to Save after you check off your choices.

What Would Happen if you didn't Approve a comment?Under new comments there is 2 buttons... APPROVE and SPAMBut what happens if you press neither? If nothing, then is the approve button really neccasary? or should it just be a default until you hit Spam?

Non-hubbers have been leaving positive comments on my hubs but the problem is they are using lazy text lingo like: "Really awsm tis s super.... I juz luv it ... n tq soo much!!!" I have approved some of these comments in the past, though I was not even sure if they were worthy of being...
