Stuck in the Moderation Queue
Today, Wordpress managed to make me cry: I realized that there were 100 comments stuck in the moderation queue and Wordpress had decided not to send me emails about that anymore. I didn’t notice, because the comments of the people who most commonly give me feedback did show up on the page immediately, so I just thought I didn’t get much feedback

I moderated all of them through now and I sincerely apologize to everybody who commented and never found their comment online. They weren’t lost, just stuck in the queue.
I am going to fix the problem and promise to pay more attention next time! Thanks!
P.S.: As a positive side note: Everybody who I just moderated through will not have to wait for moderation the next time anymore, I think.

I’ve though that you were a bad guy that had denied my comment on “Hard, hard work”, since some posts were allowed and you even commented there a lot of hours after that I’ve posted my comment there.
Good to know I was wrong.

Hehe, no in fact I hardly ever delete comments. I am glad you still read my blog even after the “incident”

Add your own comments RSS feed to your reader to be notified of new comments, and use askimet to kill the spam. Worksforme.

Cameron: Actually, that’s what I do, Akismet works fine for me too.
But I still have to moderate the very first comment of a particular person. Is that different for you?
