Comment screening is a method of preventing abuse, in that users can now choose which comments are made publically available to the journal's audience. Screened comments appear only to the user who posted the entry, the person who posted the comment, and, if the entry was made in a community, the maintainer of that community. If you are not logged in (http://www.blurty.com/login.bml) you will not to be able to see screened comments.
If you want to setup your account's screening options, you can do so at the personal info edit page (http://www.blurty.com/editinfo.bml), where there is an option labeled: "Which replies do you want screened by default?". In this drop down box, you can select the type of accounts you wish to screen. If instead you want to ban someone from commenting in your journal entirely, please read the FAQ "Can I ban an individual from posting comments in my journal?" (http://www.blurty.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=34)
Provided it is set correctly, your comment pages will display a link labeled "screened post", if someone's comment has been screened. By clicking the link, you can view the comment, and then, based on whether you find it appropriate or not, you may click the eye icon to unscreen it or click the red X to delete it. If you choose not to screen any comments by default, you may still screen individual comments by clicking the eye with the red line through it, next to the delete button. Last Updated:
