I just made a public post with a little contest (within the rules!) - I was hoping I could get people who aren’t already patrons to sign up for a Patreon account, and get a little more comfortable interacting with my posts on the site. But now I’m getting reports from people - in particular, from lapsed former patrons - that the site won’t let them comment on my PUBLIC post.
This is what they’re seeing:
Please help/advise/fix!
I’ve been told that public comments were disabled a while back as an antispam measure. Public comments on public posts are an option I’d love to be able to have control over on a per-post basis!
Yeah, this is one of those things where it would be SUPER easy to:
A) Make the feature optional for those who want it
B) Add a “moderation queue” where the Creator would have to approve any comments from Non-Patrons… I’ve had that feature in WordPress since 2003 or 2004, I think.

Ooh totally! A moderation queue would be the perfect solution for my need anyway; plus would have the added perk of Patrons getting to feel special because their comments go up right away.
