# Comment moderation

> Spam, scams and insults are hidden as they arrive. Unhappy customers are flagged for a personal reply.

Comment moderation keeps the comments under the business's posts clean. Bad comments are **hidden**, not deleted, so they can be shown again if it was a mistake.

## What it hides

| Setting | Examples |
| - | - |
| Spam and scams | "Check my profile", followers for sale, crypto, fake prizes |
| Comments with links | Links to other sites are almost always spam |
| Insults and swearing | Abuse aimed at the business or other customers |
| Blocked words and phrases | A competitor's name, words the client never wants to see |

## Unhappy customers (1)

Complaints are **not** hidden and get **no automatic reply**. They're flagged **To answer**, and your team gets an alert to reply in person. Mark them **Answered** when done.

## Set it up

Open **Comment moderation**, switch it on, and choose what to hide. The counters show how many comments were hidden and how many unhappy customers were flagged in the last 30 days.

<Warning>
  Check **Hidden** now and then for the first week. If something was hidden by mistake, click **Show it** (2).
</Warning>

<Tip>
  A quick, kind public reply to an unhappy comment ("We're sorry, we've sent you a message") shows other customers the business cares. Then sort it out in private.
