Changing post comment permissions

How to change post comment permissions

You can set who’s allowed to write and view comments for each post in the Advanced settings section of the post publishing options.

• The default for post publishing options follows your channel settings. If you want to change the default, go to [Studio] > [Settings] > [Comments/Sponsorship/Community] and update your channel settings.

  • Any visitor to your channel, including users who aren’t logged in, can view comments.

What are purchase/sponsorship comments?

• These are comments that only users (profiles) who purchased or sponsored that post can leave. They become available after completing a purchase or sponsorship.
• You can leave multiple comments regardless of how many times you purchased or sponsored.
• Anyone can attach 1 image file (PNG, JPG) up to 10MB. (GIFs can’t be attached.)
• Anyone can reply to purchase/sponsorship comments.
• On channels that allow anonymous purchase/sponsorship, if you purchase/sponsor anonymously, you can choose whether to post your purchase/sponsorship comment anonymously or publicly.
• When you write a purchase/sponsorship comment, a purchase or sponsorship icon appears next to your nickname.
• The sponsorship icon shows the total points you’ve sponsored for that post. (Example: Sponsorship 10,000P)

What are membership comments?

• Members can attach 1 image file (PNG, JPG) up to 10MB to any comment during their membership period.
  • Anyone can attach an image file (PNG, JPG) up to 10MB.
• Members have a membership badge that makes their comments stand out in the comment list.

What are private comments?

• Premium members can use this feature.
• Private comments can only be viewed by the post author (including team channel admins) and the private comment author, and can be written after you become a Premium member. (Replies included.)
• Private comments can only be viewed from the profile that wrote them. Other profiles that didn’t write the comment will see the text “This is a private comment.” instead of the content.
• Once a comment is posted as private, its privacy setting can’t be changed.
• Even if you cancel your Premium membership, you can still edit, delete, and view private comments written during your membership period.
• Private comments don’t appear on the community comments board.

What are spoiler comments?

• This feature hides comments that may contain spoilers so other users can enjoy the content fully. Comments marked as spoilers are covered with the message “This comment may contain spoilers.”, and other users can click the “View” button to reveal the content.
• Comment authors can always see their own comment content without any extra action.
• Spoiler comments don’t appear in previews of post comments in search results, feeds, etc.
• Comments marked as spoilers can’t be set as private comments.
