# Readers who stay, and talk back.

> Give readers a member account with no password, a conversation under every post, and badges that honour your supporters. Moderated by your team.

PixelGlass gives every publication **a member community**: readers sign in with a code by email, comment and vote under your posts, and wear the badges you give them. Your team moderates it all from one screen.

## No passwords. Just a code.

Readers sign up and sign in with a six-digit code sent to their email. **The sign-in screens wear your theme's colours and fonts**, and open over any page of your site.

- A face for every member, in your chosen style
- Readers edit their name and choose their lists
- One roster for every reader, free or paid

## Discussion on your own ground.

Members comment under posts and reply to each other. **Votes bring the best comments up**, and readers sort by best or newest. Comments are plain text, so the talk stays about the words.

- Open to the readers a post is for
- Comments on posts, and on pages when you want them
- A notification for every new comment

## Badges that mean something.

Make a badge with a name, a description and a picture, and give it to founders, contributors or long-time supporters. **It shows beside their name on every comment they write.**

## You set the tone. You keep it.

**Editors see every comment on one screen.** Hide one, show it again or delete it with its replies, and ban a member from commenting while they keep reading.

## In short

- **Members, unlimited.** No plan limits members, posts or pages. Plans differ only in email and storage.
- **Notified, not buried.** Sign-ups, new comments and milestones arrive in your team's notifications.
- **Moderated by roles.** Editors and above moderate. Authors write. Owners run the whole publication.

## Questions

With a six-digit code sent to their email. There is no password to remember. Signing up is the same, with a name added.

Any signed-in member who may read the post, free or paid. A paid post's comments are open only to the readers it is for. You can turn comments off for any post.

### Can members reply to and vote on comments?

Yes. Members reply to a comment, vote comments up or down, and sort them by best or newest. Comments are plain text, up to 5,000 characters.

### How do badges work?

You make a badge with a name, a description and a picture from your media library, then give it to members on their page or through the MCP server. The badge shows beside the member's name on their comments.

On the Comments screen, editors hide a comment, show it again, or delete it with its replies. On a member's page, staff can ban the member from commenting. A banned member can still read.
