When I checked my Readers page, I had no sign of askimet, or even a list of past SPAM notices, as I used to have. I am getting your messages. thanks for the “heads up.”

It seems to have made a difference in those blogger-sites such as yours who have unspammed me. But what a pain for you and them and then me because how can anyone possibly cover all the comments left on blogs??
It also seems to be a fairly common occurrance in the WP community.
🙁
Hope you have a great first-day-of-summer-weekend in your part of the country.

Pete: thanks for the unspamming! Yes, WP is notorious for glitches that only get worse for lack of attention.
-sigh-
Enjoy your first day of summer.

Hi Laura! I’m so glad you mentioned it. I hope un-spamming you does the trick although I’ll have to keep checking now and then to make sure. How very annoying. ~smile~ Roseanne

Hi Laura,
I receive your posts and comments ok, but I do have a problem with many comments going to my pending file for approval. I have tried to correct but cannot do so. I also now receive emails from some people when they have posted on here. I received an email from your post. WordPress need to do some tweaking.
I hope we can all get this sorted. Nanette

Just unspammed two of your comments. I have had this problem many times.
Various things cause it, such as;
Too many comments with the same words.
Sending more than one link in a comment.
Using words ‘restricted’ by the other blogger. (Like ‘sex’. I could type in the English county, Sussex, and it gets flagged as containing ‘sex’)
Too many ‘pingbacks’.
Bloggers leaving your comment unanswered, or mistakenly putting it in ‘Trash’.
Mostly, I think it is basically WordPress, and their famous glitches. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Yay – we’re clear – nice to know one blogging site hasn’t been affected. And yes, we have email to rely on, too. Not true with most of my blogger friends, so this is just a perk!
