What happens to new comments

Every new comment is held for moderation by default. Nothing goes public until you approve it.

In v0 the LLM only checks for egregious toxicity as a synchronous gate, before the comment is stored. Everything else needs your eyes.

Hold for moderation

Every new comment is held until you approve it. The visitor sees an “awaiting moderation” message under their composer. Visitors don’t log in — the widget keeps a small random token in their browser so their own comments stay associated with them.

A comment is stored with status flagged when:

The synchronous moderation step returned a verdict other than approved.
You haven’t enabled any auto-approve heuristic for this site (the default).
You’ve explicitly flagged this visitor’s previous comments for re-review.

Approving & rejecting from your dashboard

In your dashboard, open the Review queue. Each entry shows the author nickname, the comment body (rendered exactly as visitors will see it), and Approve / Reject buttons.

Approve flips status to approved and the comment appears on the live thread immediately (no rebuild, no cache flush).
Reject flips status to rejected and the comment is removed from every visitor’s view. The row is kept for context and abuse analysis.
