It has become apparent through HP Facebook groups and connections that quite a few of us were unaware that there are comments going unseen in a spam folder.
If you click on your comments tab where you approve comments, check the drop down menu that states "Unmoderated" etc. There will be a selection called "Spam", select it and find your missing comments.
I hope this helps as many as it has helped just now,
Thanks,
Emma.
I just did this Emma, and I found quite a lot of legitimate comments going back months and months- amazing! I did find a couple of proper spam comments though and deleted them. Still, its worth taking a look. Giving this thread a well deserved bump.
Glad to help, Stacy deserves the real credit as she brought it to my attention.x
HI Emma I found this out a while back, A Friend of mine asked me how I liked his comment and I told him I didn't get a comment from him.. Yep it was in the spam folder I try to check this out every few days.. I usually find a few to. People need to know this. Chery
That was cool. Thanks! I found one comment labeled spam and it wasn't, so I was allowed to correct that. There is so much yet to learn on these pages and each is valuable.
Holly Berry Ddraigcoch! Thanks for that info! Found two recent comments with 0 hubs for the posters, one banned and two off site.
I never even thought to check all the items in the pull down menu awesome. Thanks for sharing and yes, bump
You are welcome. I never thought of it until I was chatting with a couple of other hubbers yesterday.
I found loads that should have got through from legitimate hubbers! whats that about? thanks that was a good bit of info.
Your welcome Nell and I KNOW!! Not a very helpful place to put them is it? lol.
Thanks for the information! I had never even thought to check the pull-down menu on comments. I am going to check right now to see what I have missed.
I have not been checking but after your alert I did check. And I have a very important post. Thanks.

I just checked the Spam section of my Comments and found three genuine comments from other Hubbers!I can't see any reason for it - none of them contained links and all of them were a decent length. The only common denominator I can see is that they are all ex-Squids.I suggest everyone...

Every now and again I will check the spam folder for comments as some comments do get flagged as spam and end up there even though they are not spam. Usually at least once or twice each month.Today I checked and there are a few messages there that are between 7 and 12 months old according to the...

Why is that the email of hubpages editors I received is in the spam folder?
by Thomas Swan 9 months ago
Hi, I've noticed Hubpages emails from editors, team, and the weekly newsletter all going into my spam folder this week in my gmail account. Not sure why. I marked them as "not spam" so I hope that helps.Could this be part of Google downgrading the whole site for being overly promotional?...
