Email me whenever- Email to the admin will be sent when anyone posts a comment or a comment is held for moderation.

Before a comment appears- Settings for comments manually approval. It can get automatically approved only if the comment author has a previously approved comment.

Comment Moderation- Moderate comments here.

Comment Blacklist- Comments will be removed if it has some specific unwanted words, for example hate, spam, etc. So, if you don’t want such comments, just set the words here and that’s it. These unwanted comments get into the trash section automatically.
