Dear reader, if it seems your comment has not been approved, sometimes it actually has been approved even if you don’t see it. The reason is that once a combox reaches 200 comments, the Blogger software will not show any new comments made after that unless you click “Load more…” at the bottom of the comments page. The trouble is that this is in small print and easily overlooked. In the screen cap above, I’ve circled in red what you should look for.
Occasionally,
your comment does not appear because it has not
been approved. Sometimes this is because
the comment is too off-topic. Most of the
time, it is because the comment is nothing more than a drive-by insult or the
like, or is blasphemous or obscene.
Those are never let through if I notice them. Sometimes obnoxious comments are let through
if they are not too egregious and there is also a more substantive point made
in the comment. But I ask readers kindly
to refrain from sophomoric squabbles and the like.
Finally, sometimes your comment has not appeared simply because it takes me a while to get to approving comments. I’m trying to be more speedy on that, sorry.
