Comments

Join A Page Or Hub Discussion

Comments stay with the Page or Hub profile that is open. A reply below an article remains with that article. A reply below a Hub profile remains with that Hub, even when its profile URL was generated from the Hub record. The discussion therefore stays beside the information it explains.

The Comments list and Add Comment are separate collapsible panels. The list opens with the newest root discussions first; choose Oldest First when you need to read the original sequence. Collapsing either panel does not remove comments or editor content.

Who Can Comment

The global Comment Settings control whether the panel is available, which roles may post, and whether CAPTCHA is required. A Page or Hub can disable its own panel. A non-empty role selection on that owner replaces the global role selection.

When anonymous posting is not allowed, the page shows sign-in and registration actions instead of an editor. Signing in does not bypass the selected role policy. An authenticated person without an allowed role sees a permission message, not a hidden editor.

Write And Reply Safely

Use the editor for ordinary formatting, links, emoji, and readable paragraphs. Before a comment is stored, the server checks the current policy, CAPTCHA, rate limit, owner, reply target, depth, length, and allowed markup. Unsupported markup is removed, and content that becomes empty after sanitization is rejected.

When Google CAPTCHA is configured, it is required by default. The established IP-exclusion rule can skip only that challenge for an eligible request. It never skips ownership, authorization, content, or rate-limit checks.

Add Comment and each Reply use the limited TipTap editor. Basic formatting, safe links, and emoji are available; the source toolbar is reserved for administrators. The server sanitizes every submission regardless of what the browser displays.

Replies And Moderation

Select the reply action beneath the exact post you want to answer. Each post opens its own reply textarea, so the submission is attached to that thread instead of being mistaken for a new top-level comment. Replies use the same checks as new comments.

Administrators can filter the moderation list and hide or restore a comment. Hiding is not deletion. The author, timestamps, original row, and descendants remain preserved. A hidden parent shows a placeholder so later visible replies still have context.

Administrators can remove or restore a comment directly from the moderated thread as well as from the moderation list. A configured public policy can hide comments containing links without deleting their stored history.
