Who really controls the comments?
Comment denied by "administration." It was one line on my Ringling Bros. editorial complimenting the piece. Not completely articulate but nothing inappropriate. Why, because I have been moderating and participating in the discussion, was this comment clipped by"administration?" From what I read about the new policy, I had the impression that we, the authors, controlled the commentary unless we didn't actually do it. I would like that one line favorable comment to be added back in because I don't want to alienate readers who may return to this (emotional) topic. Who fixes this?

Just interested in how many of you just read a hub and dont leave a comment. For me if i read something I always leave a comment but by looing at my reads I can only assume loads read but dont leave a comment. What makes you leave a comment and what makes you not bother, just curious.

Do you find that leaving comments and replying to them increases your stats, or does it take you away (time wise) from writing hubs?
