Blog Moderators honoring blog settings

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right spot but this has been a bit of an issue for me a few times now.

If I make a blog entry and put the settings as no comments allowed, blog moderators still comment and I'm not sure if that's because they can't see what I made my settings or they're ignoring it and not honoring what my settings are.

Another thing is moderating comments setting. Again, I make this setting and see a comment went through without me getting a chance to use the feature of approving the comment.


I'm not here to offend anyone. Staff here volunteer their time to benefit people on the site and I appreciate all you so. I'm just wondering if maybe on the moderators' end if the distinction isn't as clear to them because as moderators they have a different page layout and the algorithm doesn't stop them from commenting and doesn't even mention like hey this user said no comments etc


It is really frustrating because when I post an entry I sometimes write about something very personal and I'm not ready to hear comments. It is a preference to prevent certain triggers from dysregulating me.


I mean I'm going to start prefacing "please don't comment even if you're a mod"

Another thing is, what is the purpose of allowing mods to overrule a users' blog settings when the comments have nothing to do with actually moderating?
