2 questions about comments settings please?

    Hi.

    1) Is there a way to allow people to submit comments only after they have verified their email if they are not registered with WP?

    2) If you put a keyword in the Comment moderation list, I understand it will match inside words. Can that be overcome by putting a space before and after the screened word?
    (ie: if you put ‘ top ‘ as a word to moderate, would that stop flagging comments that use the word ‘stop’?)

    Thank you very much. I really appreciate the assistance.

    Have a great day.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    Hello there,

    Many thanks for reaching out.

    1) Is there a way to allow people to submit comments only after they have verified their email if they are not registered with WP?

    No, but you can set the comments to be moderated and approved before they become visible: https://wordpress.com/support/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation

    2) If you put a keyword in the Comment moderation list, I understand it will match inside words. Can that be overcome by putting a space before and after the screened word?

    As far as I know, no it can’t.

    Is there something in particular you’re worried about when it comes to commenting?

    Looking forward to hearing more.
