DW selective comment screening -- any lurkers want it?

[frayadjacent]

As you probably know, DW now has selective comment screening -- you can choose to have specific users' comments screened by default rather than having all comments screened on a specific post.

DW mainly pitches this as being for occasionally obnoxious commenters, but it seems to me there could be a different use -- for readers who might, for example, have anxiety about commenting where anyone can read it.

So, if anyone out there would like me to choose them for selective comment screening, so that I will see your comments on my posts but no one else will, feel free to PM me and I will gladly do it.

Great idea! Rebrand it as "private discussions on public blogs" and it could be a feature.

(But no thank you.)

Totally! Perhaps DW will move toward something like that in the future.

Ooh, this is such a good way to frame it I think I'll steal it, if that's okay?

[frayadjacent]

Of course!
