I'm finding that I often comment on a blog, or think I've done so, but the comment isn't there. I notice when I go back to the blog next time, and look to see if my comment had a response, but there's no Iota comment to be seen. It's really annoying. I've asked a couple of bloggers, and they've said my comments have gone into their spam folders. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there some setting on my Google account that I can change to make my comments less likely to be treated as spam?
Commenting through Bloglovin' is really glitchy, so I'm already in the habit of clicking onto each blog before I comment, rather than doing it from the Bloglovin' site. That's fairly annoying too. Come back Google Reader, all is forgiven.
The other thing is, how do you find the spam filter on your blog? Is this a Wordpress thing? As far as I'm aware on my own blog, comments always get through, and if they didn't, I wouldn't have a clue as to where to go hunting for them.

Hello. I have the same problem with emails. I get an email and I reply to it and then the reply vanishes. Either that or I'm just rubbish. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, in blogger go to the dashboard (I think they call it that) but go to the list of your posts and down the left hand side there's a whole load of other stuff starting with an orange "new post" at the top. Click on comments and then you can click on either "published" or "spam" to see what it's filtered out.
See how teccy I am!
Brilliant. I've rescued a few comments from the previous months. Thanks.
DeleteI've just got your comment out of the spam filter where it was all tangled up, looking miserable... I don't know why your comments end up more regularly in spam filters. Highly bizarre. Are you secretly weaving the words 'porn', 'viagra' and/or 'cheap insurance' into your comments?
ReplyDeleteAs for blogloving - you can change settings so that each post you click on opens in the original blog, not in bloglovin. Dxx
I'm regularly sent to the spam room, on some blogs it's guaranteed! I don't know how I got my reputation, no honestly I don't!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, you were one of the ones I've just had to rescue from the spamroom!
DeleteOnly thing I've noticed is that I'm finding the Prove You're Not A Spambot number/letter tests harder and harder. A few places I've failed the test so many times they ban me from commenting. It's hard to preserve one's dignity in such a situation.
ReplyDeleteHi, I've been told by a lot of people that they don't want to go to the bother of commenting because Wordpress asks that you set up a blog for yourself before being able to comment on other peoples' blogs. It's a way of boosting Wordpress' numbers of bloggers, but it means that people just don't want to waste time doing something so useless. Any thoughts?
