Why do some comments in answers get marked for me to moderate but others do not?
I say, if it is marked for me to moderate, I’m deleting it to be safe. Is this the right course of action?
I have noticed that in matters associated with abortion, usage of the M (rhymes with herder) word gets marked every time.
HubPages has filters that look at comments just as they do Hub content. If the filters think there's a problem, then something triggered them to do so, and it is in your best interests to delete that comment.
I figured as much. I saw red and hit the big D button.
Have you been canceled?
I had to look up your name. Thanks.
To avoid negative action from the powers that be. I don’t want to be marked.
I don't know about comments in the questions and answers area, but on my hubs, comments that come from unregistered users may be marked for moderation if they come from IP address HubPages deems suspicious, e.g., known proxies or IPs from which lots of comments have recently originated. Google doesn't see any of that information, so if the comment is innocuous I approve it. I don't have anything against proxy users.
The automated filters may also flag comments that contain links, so it's up to you if want to delete that. Sometimes people are just pointing you to relevant news articles, not trying to get a backlink to their own site. I prefer to use my own judgment rather than put absolute faith in the automated filters.
I think these were pertaining to the language used in the comments. It was rather coarse.
lol, I never get entertaining comments like that.
It’s all about pushing some buttons and then people roll with emotionally led typing over not wanting the other person to get the last word. I pretty much just thumbs up everyone so nobody blames me for anything.

I just noticed that comments I delete from the 'comments' section on my accounts page are not being deleted from the actual hubs. One of my hubs gets spammed a lot by people posting links and email addresses for 'quack' healthcare. I have clicked the 'spam' button and then clicked...

What happens if you don't moderate your own comments? I tend to forget then go in and do a bunch at once. But I was wondering if the failure to moderate them meant they couldn't be seen or weren't counted or something?

I noticed that comments I leave to other peoples comments has a message to moderate my own comment. What does that button do. When I comment back does it automatically appear?
