From your Dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Blogging Settings” » “Discussion”

This is where you will set up your discussion options for accepting comments within your blog. Most of these settings will remain unchanged, although this is completely up to your personal preference.

1. Usual Settings for An Article: This section determines the default settings for your blog posts. These can be changed on an individual post basis within the “Create” » “Write Post” section. The main box here we recommend you leave unchecked is the first one “Attempt to notify any weblogs…” This will slow down the system and doesn’t do much for you that the other aspects of the Quan$ite™ system doesn’t already do.
2. Email me Whenever: The email settings determine when you’d like to be notified. Do you want to know every time someone posts a comment? Do you want to be notified when a comment is being held for moderation? Determine those settings here.
3. Before A Comment Appears: Here you’ll determine when a comment will appear. Do you want to approve every comment that comes in? Do you want to require visitors to leave their name and email before they leave a comment? If a visitor has left a comment before, do they need your approval again?

NOTE: The name and email requirement here is not the same as user registration. While this function may actually turn people away from commenting or leaving fictitious information, by having this option set, you’re allowing the “Comment Relish” portion of the Quan$ite™ system to work for you.
NOTE: Comment moderation is automatically disabled right now due to the use of Spam Karma 2. Spam Karma 2 (SK2) is used for filtering 99% of potential comment spam from your blog.
