Discussion Settings
The Discussion Settings are used to control how visitors and other blogs interact with your site. Default Article Settings In the Default article settings , there are three options.
Comment Embeds
WordPress.com allows you and your readers to embed YouTube videos and tweets from Twitter directly into blog comments by simply adding a single URL into the comment text. Of course, if a reader embeds an inappropriate video or tweet on your blog, you are free to remove the link or delete the entire comment, just as you are with other comments . We may expand this functionality in the future to include embeds from other services. YouTube
Comments are enabled on WordPress.com blogs by default. You can enable and disable comments . Each blog owner has full control to approve, delete, or edit comments left on their blog. You can allow only registered WordPress.com users to comment, or you can allow anyone to comment. If you allow anyone to comment, you can choose whether the name and email fields are required or not.
Who Can Comment
There are many ways to protect your WordPress.com blogs from unwanted comments: WordPress.com blogs are protected by the Akismet comment spam filter. You can control whether comments are automatically approved or if they need to be reviewed before they are published.
Unwanted Comments and Comment Spam
Trackbacks
Trackbacks are a way to notify legacy blog systems that you’ve linked to them. If you link other WordPress blogs they’ll be notified automatically using pingbacks , no other action necessary. Think of trackbacks as the equivalent of acknowledgements and references at the end of an academic paper or chapter in a text book.
Pingbacks
A pingback is a type of comment that’s created when you link to another blog post where pingbacks are enabled. The best way to think about pingbacks is as remote comments: Person A posts something on his blog. Person B posts on her own blog, linking to Person A’s post. This automatically sends a pingback to Person A when both have pingback enabled blogs.My Comments
The Dashboard -> Comments I’ve Made page tracks comments you’ve made across WordPress.com so you can see when people reply to you.

WordPress.com blog owners have full control to approve, delete, or edit the comments left on their blog. There are separate help pages showing how to enable and disable comments and how to control who can comment . To manage comments, go to the Comments link in the left menu of your blog dashboard.
