As a reminder for people who haven’t been here for long. When you comment, the comment goes into the moderation queue and waits for me to approve it. If I am busy, sleeping, or at work, it may be a little while before I get a chance to approve it. You don’t need to post it more than once if you don’t see it right away.
That’s been done here for two reasons:
- Prevention of SPAM. Between 50 and 200 spam comments a day are attempted on this site. The SPAM filters get most of them, but 20-30 of them a day wind up in the queue and have to be deleted.
- Enforcing the rules of the site. There were people who came here with no other intention but causing hate and discontent. Those people were banned, but they simply changed names and used a VPN. My choices were either require registering an account with an email, or go to moderation and approval of all comments. I chose the latter. There were benefits and drawbacks to either method, and I decided moderation was the best one for this site.
So wait, if your comment hasn’t been approved within 24 hours, then it was either sucked into the SPAM filter, or it ran afoul of the site rules for comments. You can always ask me.
