MySpace Comments: Can I approve them before they're added?

I keep getting stupid and spammy comments on my MySpace profile and I have heard that there's some way you can actually have them all queue and manually approve them? That sounds awesome. Howzit done, Dave?


Dave's Answer:

Trust me, you're not alone in getting lame comments and "billboard" comments on your MySpace profile. I marvel at the tenacity of some commentors, actually, where I consistently delete their comments because they're junk, but they keep trying nonetheless. Round and around we go, wasting time. That they are making MySpace a worse place is irrelevant to them, clearly...

I have been wondering about how to make this setting too, and recently figured it out. Here's the secret tip for changing all your comments in MySpace to be moderated (e.g., you have to approve them before they're added to your profile)...

Step one, log in to your MySpace account and click on "Account Settings", then click on "Change Settings" for your Privacy Settings:

MySpace: Change Account Settings: Privacy

Now you'll see this set of options:

MySpace: Change Account Settings: Privacy

Look for "Comments - approve before posting" and select it by checking the little box adjacent. Then scroll to the bottom and click on "Change Settings".

Done!

Since we're here chatting about MySpace, by the way, I'd like to remind you that I have tons and tons of free MySpace help and that I also have my own MySpace profile too!

How old is this help site? Nothing on Myspace looks like this in anyway shape and or form.

yeah, this is an older help article. I need to update some of these for the newer MySpace layout. Thanks for the reminder. :-)

To change your settings using the "new" myspace layout just go to "my account" which is in the right hand corner just to the left of the "sign out" out tab. To approve/deny comments go to the tab "spam"

I have something to say, now that you mention it, but ...
Starbucks coffee cup I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you for all your efforts on this Web site by buying you a cup of coffee!

I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
