That's what I mean though. In this case I have no option other than to monitor constantly when a comment email comes in (there is no preview of the comment in the email: sad) and I am too busy to look because I am promoting the game or doing a podcast.

I deleted the comments and I slept okay that night I guess.. but what I asked for is a way to hold questionable comments (those containing links, or images, or certain keywords) so they arent displayed until approved by an admin or whatever

If you needed to delete all comments  from the start (because I see no comments) I would just disable them. If you don't get that many, I would just check it once or twice a day (bookmark the analytics page).  I don't think that Itch.io has time in the near future to make changes on their platform that aren't absolutely necessary. Some people seem to really dislike you or your projects because of the ratings. In the first case I would also disallow the ratings (but I don't know if this affects old reviews, maybe just for the next one). Good luck!

Done, and done. However that option is very 'nuclear.'

Eh it's a shame that posts containing images and links to file hosting sites are even allowed in the comments. Not allowing that would solve the issue too

EDIT: Turning off reviews was too nuclear. I decided to leave those up
