I just notice that a comment was approved on one of my hubs on Feltmagnet. It said "Status: Admin Approved. ip: 89.203.76.52". That's not me. I have all my hubs set so that I have to moderate comments but it seems that this one was done for me. The comment was left by a hubber, so all is well. However, I don't like the idea of someone else, or some sort of automated system, approving comments.
Any ideas why this would happen?
@ theraggededge,
niche protective measures or Big Brother is still watching.
"Niche protection"... interrrresting....
Happened to me once for a hub on niche site only. I didn't like it either.
Strange, isn't it?
It was your comment btw
Hi theraggededge,
Our moderators look at most new comments for spam and other issues. In rare cases, legitimate comments will be erroneously flagged as spam by our system, in which case mods will approve them manually, which is what happened here. You can always delete these comments from your articles later if you wish.
Thanks, Christy. I still get some rather questionable comments coming through on one particular hub of mine - they don't seem to get picked up at all. Oh well.
Poor Sakina being marked as spam I shan't delete her, she's lovely.
It's nice to know they're moving good comments out of spam. My concern is, when I get comments they're often asking for advice. How will I know when Admin approves a comment, so I can answer that comment?
I had notification that there was a new comment by email. When I went to approve it, it wasn't there, so I went back to the email, checked which hub it was and then found it. I much prefer to have the option to reply on the approval page. It's quicker and easier than going to the hub.

For years I have been diligent about responding to questions left on my hubs. But now I've discovered comments are being published on my articles without appearing in my Comments section, so I look like I'm rude and ignoring readers who go to the effort of writing.Today I spent ages waiting for...

I got a message to check my comments and was sent to my Tom Dooley hub and I cannot see any comments there although there should be some!How can this be my problem? I have nothing to do with whether comments are showing or not do I? It is suggested I might want to disable them until I can fix them....

I noticed the past few days that any notifications of comments don't appear in the notifications list until I approve the comment. (I am seeing the comments as they show up next to the Hubs link on the homepage, so that is not an issue.) Newer notifications showed up before the comment did....

Is anyone else getting a surge in spammy comments in their Hubs? I seem to be getting at least one or two every day now. I only get the opportunity to check my comments once a day, and I delete the spammy ones. I got a snippy comment from another hubber stating "Wow, you let...

Ok. Yesterday, I received a very derogatory comment on one of my hubs. The reader pinpointed one comment, an alternative, that I mentioned, and disregarded the entire article. I did approve the comment, and made my own, should I have just deleted it?Here's the hub. Your suggestions...
