So I got an email from my friend Ms. A over at Sarcastic Granny. (Which is a great name for a blog, if you should wonder...)
She has apparently not been able to leave comments on my blog for awhile.
I had no idea.
Since I have comment moderation because of some wacky spam stuff, all my comments are supposed to come to my inbox. I can send them off to never-never with a click of the little button on my mouse if they contain suspicious links or word salad.
I didn't find any emails in my inbox, but when I checked the spam/messages waiting for approval on my blog, well, I found about 20 comments that had been languishing there. Just waiting for someone to look at 'em. :)
Apparently, her comments and some other people's comments as well ended up in my blog spam folder. I never even got an email notification that someone had commented! Hell of a way to run a railroad, if you should wonder.
So if you comment and you don't see your comment show up, email me. Please.
I removed the comment moderation already, but according to Granny up there ^^ that doesn't seem to make a difference. It's possibly a gmail issue instead.
I don't know. But I don't like it. And I hope no one thinks I didn't want their comments. Because I do. I really do.*
*Unless you're a crooked work comp lawyer/one of his minions with your buttload of shitty personal and professional ethics.
Then, you can kiss my ass.
I had to laugh b/c I am a worker's comp lawyer but not a crooked one.
ReplyDeleteI have several commenters that always end up in the moderate or spam folder. I am pretty skilled when it comes to blogging software, but I can't figure out why this happens. I check my spam folder once a day just to make sure there are no legit comments in the folder.
ReplyDeleteWell, woman... I didn't want you to think I wasn't visiting and leaving comments! It seems gmail hates yahoo and doesn't think anyone from yahoo is legit.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, and you still won't get an email notification that I left a comment, it will go to your spam folder, even though I'm not spam.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got it figured out.
ReplyDeleteI tried leaving you several comments over the last few days but that was because Youngest forgot to log out of his school Gmail account, which apparently I am not an administrator of.
