Publishes comments from registered, logged-in users right away, while comments from guests still follow your moderation settings.
Stops WordPress from sending pingbacks to your own site when you link to your own posts, so they do not clutter the comment queue.
Removes the Comments menu, admin bar bubble and screen for users without moderation rights, such as authors and contributors.
Shows a short quote from the most recent approved comment two thirds of the way through a post, with a link to the discussion.
Shows commenter names as plain text instead of links to their websites, removing the main reward for comment spammers.
Lets visitors comment with just a name, for communities where asking for an email address puts people off.
Removes the Website (URL) field from the comment form, which discourages comments posted only to get a link.
Collapses the comments section behind a "Show comments" button, so long discussions do not distract from the article or load avatars until wanted.
Hides existing comments and the comment form from visitors who are not logged in, including in feeds and the REST API, and invites them to log in.
Stops WordPress from remembering commenters' name, email and website in cookies, and removes the related consent checkbox.
Requires a longer pause between two comments from the same person, 60 seconds instead of WordPress's 15, to slow down comment bursts.
Removes all HTML tags from comments submitted by users who are not allowed to post unfiltered HTML, so links and formatting cannot be injected.
