2. Click on the 'Remove' button next to the moderator you'd like to delete.

Recommended Moderation Settings

1. Go to Admin -> Settings tab -> Moderators
2. Select "Yes. Moderators must approve comments before they are published."
3. Select "From all commenters"
4. Check the box next to "Email moderators when a post is flagged."

To Change Email Notification Settings

Admin -> Moderate tab -> Email Notifications. Check the button next to “Enabled. Send me notifications”

• • Be sure to check the boxes next to the type of email notifications you'd like to receive. MPublishing recommends that you receive notifications for ALL comments.
  • Check the box next to your sites name (at the bottom) to enable notifications

Moderating Via Email

Options: You can moderate through email. Respond in the body with "Delete", "Approve", or "Spam". Respond with anything else to approve the comment and post your message as a reply comment.

Tips

1. To prevent unwanted comments from slipping through, MPublishing recommends
2. DISQUS will alert you to commenters with a low reputation by adding a 'Low Rep' indicator below the commenters name.
3. To see what types of other comments a user has been posting, click on the his/her name. Comments they've added on other sites will display in a box on the right.
4. Add valid commenters to the whitelist. Add spammers and other invalid commenters to the blacklist. (Whitelist/Blacklist Help: http://docs.disqus.com/help/55/)
