Caught up in comment moderation -- apologies!
I love Squarespace, but their spam-handling tools are abysmal. Supposedly this will be addressed in an upcoming release but so far there's no word on when that release will be.
As a result, anyway, I have to put ALL comments through a moderation stage where each comment needs individual approval (ugh). Time-consuming and a hassle, but it's either that or let all the spam comments through...and there have been a LOT of spam comments which I've had to block.
I've been a bit behind in comment moderation but have caught up now. Apologies for anyone who has been wondering why their comment hasn't been posted!

One of the things I like about Word Press is that there are plug-ins that handle moderation quite nicely.
I am also a Squarespace user, and while I don't have a problem with the comment moderation (I personally like being able to review every comment before it posts), I am also looking forward to the new release. We are paying a premium for the service afterall, and as such I expect a top-of-the-line platform.
Debbie: I also use Word Press. It has a widget called Akismet that automatically weeds out all the spam. It is remarkably accurate.
Hello there, squarespace.com always intrigued me- but at last, I don't have the funds. Surprise to hear that they don't have a better system for comment moderation.
