Moderate Reader Reviews
All library users with a LibraryThing account can post reviews in the Vega Discover Catalog when the Reader Reviews widget is enabled in the Syndetics Unbound configuration.
Each review must be moderated before it becomes visible to other users. Once approved, the review is displayed at the top of the Reader Reviews widget for that title in the Vega Discover Catalog.
