Blogger New Commenting Feature

Blogspot has a new feature implemented again - this time it's a new feature for comments.

Now you can manage the comments received on your Blogger blog. It will be with one of the tabs with the other navigation, such as Edit Post, Settings, Designs and Monetize.

Here's how the navigation bar look now.

With the commenting feature, now you can easily check on published comments, comments that are awaiting moderation and spam comments.

To be honest, it's almost like Wordpress now - except Wordpress has a "Trash" are once you deleted a particular comment, probably just in case you want to recover it back.

But when you delete comments on Blogspot, that cannot be undone.


This is how the "Published" section look like - with complete information such as comment author, commented blog post and the date.


Comments "Awaiting Moderation" section. It's self-explanatory.


And lastly, the "Spam" section. Haven't gotten any in my spam inbox right now, hopefully it works against automated spam comment bots.

Take note: It's not implemented on all blogs, yet. Only a handful of blogs has this feature - probably all will have it in the near future.

New Comments System on Blogger : Spam Filtering | Comments "Inbox"

Commenting is one of the most important parts of blogging. it’s what makes blogging a conversation. Now Blogger has introduced 2 new improvements to Blogger’s comments system: Spam filtering(Spam Inbox) and the ability to view all comments on your blog in one place(Comments Inbox).





Comment Inbox

The Published sub-tab(under Comments tab) provides a similar view as your email inbox. You can see all of the comments on your blog in one place.



Also you can mark them as "spam",delete or remove content of the comments.When you mark a comment as Spam, it will be deleted immediately from your blog.



Comment moderation has also moved under the Comments tab and has been extended to allow you to mark comments as Spam.



Comments Spam Filtering(Spam Inbox)

To fight with spam, some of you enabled moderation of all comments or required word verification or login. While somewhat effective, these checks limit real-time conversations around your blog.To address this,Blogger have integrated Google’s spam filtering technologies into the Blogger comment system.

The comments in the Spam inbox are not visible to your readers. Here, you can permanently delete spam comments by selecting them and choosing Delete. You can also mark comments as Not Spam that have been incorrectly classified as spam.Choose Not Spam and the selected comments will be moved out of the spam list and will be immediately published on your blog.
