Any hubbers out there receiving weird, disconnected comments?
Can anyone help me here? I have been receiving comments that seem to be totally disconnected from the hub I had written. Anybody else experiencing this or have some knowledge as to what might be happening?
All I can offer in the line of possible explanations Bruce, is that I have noticed when I go in to the actual Q&A lists, there's an unusually high influx of people who have just signed up (as in "minutes ago") no profile pic or info whatsoever. They instantly go to the Q&A and ask bizarre, off the wall questions with no sense to them....Just your typical lonely, bored & ignorant creature who has nothing better to do than cause disturbances & try to annoy others.
I assume they go onto our sites to leave similar nonsensical comments. Just report them, Bruce. They disappear in due time.....like a simple head ache. They persevere & go on to another site!! LOL
I always just chalk this sort of thing up to the fact that someone left the door to the flight deck, wide open again!!
Yes, I have had such experience. I just ignored and not approved the same. You too can deny or hide it.
I don't understand it, Born2care2001. I just got one and deleted it. It was long, disjointed, and rambling, nothing to do with my meatball recipe hub. Really weird.
yes i've had a few ... mark them as spam ... it will help hubpages admin clear the air.

I only ever receive a handful across my entire account. Granted it's nice I'm not dealing with spam or off site crappy comments but wonder if there is some trick to it.I have traffic, I have some adsense click through rate, but few comments. More for my own vanity than anything, what type of...

I am no longer receiving notification of new hubs written by people I follow. I am also not receiving an email notifying me of someone commenting on my hub. Anyone else having this problem?

How do you treat fellow hubbers that leave provoking comments at the end of you hubs?

I have checked the FAQs and the settings for a fix, but I am receiving status updates, mainly "Shares" from hubbers who are not in my follow list.It looks like a glitch, so I thought someone should know.

Should hubbers who don't crack 50 points be given the boot after 6 months?I've noticed there are thousands of low-quality hubs here. Should Hubpages raise its standards for inclusion?
