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 :(

Moderation Queue

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?
