Procedural Issue

A commentator has just let me know that recently some of his comments have disappeared. Has anyone else had this problem? I moderate comments here because a few years ago a war erupted in the comments that I had to put a stop to because it was irrelevant to the blog. But I so rarely delete a comment that I haven't actually done so for the last few years! So, if anyone else has had a problem, I will simply stop moderation entirely and we can see how that goes.

Just let me know!

    One comment disappeared months ago but it has gotten more frequent recently which is why I mentioned it. Also you yourself mentioned it a few days ago. There is a simple expedient just to write or copy the comment into a word processor but I was wondering if the software wasn't intruding a filter of some kind itself. In other words is there some default filter setting that is running parallel to your moderation?

    I think if you remove moderation you will have to quickly delete spam or hate posts. But if you always look at comments within a day that is a small problem unless a campaign starts. Also I wonder if there is a default filter. You should closely review the documentation for your new software.

    I just went into the Spam folder, but none of your comments ended up there, so still a mystery. I'm not aware of any other filter apart from the Spam filter. There is more Spam than there used to be, so perhaps I need to keep the moderation for the moment. Please, other folks weigh in if you have experienced a comment disappearing.

    I don't have the technical competence to review the coding for the new Blogger, so that's not going to happen!
