Hello, Wingers! Thank you so much for the opportunity to help you guys get organized online. I know a few of you have had some trouble with your comments being posted and I want to address that. Some of your comments have been getting hung up in the Spam Folder of the blog which have required separate approval.
The site "helps" by filtering out comments it thinks are spam when the blog has a "post all" comment policy. That just means that all comments are automatically posted without any moderation. The site makes the decisions about what comments are "spam" and does not always get it right.
To stop that very frustrating aspect of the blog experience, I have done the only thing we can do at this point and that is to require all comments be moderated. Instead of the blog site making determinations of what is spam and what is not (and not doing a good job!) I will do that as the blog administrator.
I am not reviewing or editing the comments. I am only verifying they are not spam. This ensures that a human is reviewing the comments and making spam determination, not a computer program which will keep your comments from getting stuck in the spam folder.
When you make a comment, I immediately receive an email that there is a comment to be moderated. I can publish it from the email which is a very easy process.
I know how important it is for everyone to have their comments posted in a timely manner and to get their information quickly. I want to assure you that I will post comments as quickly as possible. Thank you for being patient while we work out the kinks of your new website. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to make it better!
Thanks,
Georgia Welch
Blog Administrator
