Would you like to stagger your comments over several days?

Site Comments 2 is great for engagement, interaction, sucking up to Google :-) and giving you the opportunity to add more content.

I've seen questions from a couple of members asking if they should approve and post all the comments at once or spread them out over a few days. The worry is that a sudden splurge of comments might look suspicious to Mr G.

I've no idea if that's true or not but it would seem more natural if the comments appeared over a few days, in my opinion.

The problem is, if you approve a comment (with or without adding a reply) in Site Comments, it is automatically published to your site. If you delay approving it, you're doing a disservice to the commenter.

Be kind to your commenters

If someone has spent time reading your article and creating a comment, I think it's polite if you approve it (or disapprove) fairly quickly so they can get the credit for it. I've had a comment stuck in Pending for 4 days and another member reported a 6-day delay!

So how can you approve a comment but delay its appearance on your website?
