Blog Comment Moderation + Spam App Shortlist

Have Sidekick turn on native blog-comment moderation in your store's blog settings, then shortlist apps for the form/review/registration spam it can't block directly.

📋 Prompt
Run in Sidekick
Help me cut down on spam across my Shopify store:

Store Context:

  Store URL: [YOUR STORE URL]
  Do you have a blog with comments: [YES/NO]
  Do you accept product reviews: [YES/NO, which app]
  Current spam volume: [DESCRIBE, e.g., 20+ spam form submissions per day]


What Sidekick can do directly in my admin:

  Navigate to Online Store > Blog posts > [BLOG NAME] settings and turn on comment moderation, so new comments are held for approval before publishing
  Confirm whether comments are currently enabled at all, and disable them entirely if my blog doesn’t actively use comments


What Sidekick can research for me (app comparison, not installation):

  Shortlist spam-prevention apps that add CAPTCHA/honeypot protection to contact forms and account registration, with a feature and price comparison for budget [BUDGET, e.g., free to $20/month]
  Shortlist review-app anti-spam settings or verified-purchase-only options for [YOUR REVIEW APP], if that app exposes them


CAPTCHA on forms, honeypot fields, disposable-email blocking, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC DNS records all require either theme code, an app, or DNS access outside Shopify admin — Sidekick can point me to the right app or setting but can’t implement those directly.
