Since I started replying to some comments and leaving my own on other blogs this morning, a few have failed to appear. This leads me to think that I may have cast into ‘Spam Jail’ by WordPress, for the umpteenth time.
If I would usually comment on one of your posts, but have not appeared to do so, please check your Spam folders, and ‘Un-Spam’ me.
Best wishes, Pete.

Good luck, Pete! As i read yesterday, it could depend on the content delivery network put in front of wp.com. The guys from cloudflare.com wrote about such things. Unspamming by third party is – i think – the best solution. Michael

Thanks, Michael. It seems to be continuing with self-hosted sites, but on WordPress sites the comments are going through.
Best wishes, Pete.

Oh, seems the self-hosted sites not have activated Akismet anti-spam. Have a nice evening! Michael

Thanks, Luanne. Another regular ‘glitch’, I have no doubt. 🙂

I noticed yesterday that my comment to you had to await “moderation.” This stuff just seems to happen now and then. I suspect is it nascent AI. God help us when Artificial Intelligence is no longer only nascent. Warmest regards, Ed

Do they still sell Sporks? I remember those really well. 🙂

I think they’re still available. Spam recommends special pork sporks.

I’ve been experiencing that a lot too, Pete. Then it got worse. WordPress won’t let me “like” or comment on most blogs (it’s weirdly random), but maybe I can get around that via the Reader. Yet another WordPress pain in the rear…
Have a good week. Hugs!

Thanks for your experience, Teagan. It seems that WP is going through another of its ‘glitch phases’.

After seeing your post, I checked my spam-folder and found comments there. I am self-hosted, so I believe your theory may be correct.

It’s starting to happen to me, too, Pete. Olga found my comments in Spam and a few others have not been appearing. Even worse, my emails have started going directly to the recipients’ spam. I’ve had to set up a new email account. Your comments have been appearing on my blog okay.

Thanks, Mary. I have just ‘lost’ another one on a .com site I follow. I think it is the self-hosted sites that are experiencing the issue this morning.
Best wishes, Pete.

You’ve come through OK on mine, presume you are getting notified again? or are you still hunting me down in the reader?

I started to get the notifications again recently. Thanks for letting me know the comments appeared. 🙂

Thanks, Pete. I found you and you were right! I wonder. There were some updates, but yesterday your comments came through OK. Although, as I said on my blog, there seemed to be a disruption to my blog that sorted itself out, so it’s probably nothing to do with you (Jetpack up to no good…). Thanks for your patience.

Thanks, Olga. It might indeed be Jetpack, as only self-hosted sites appear to be affected so far.

You might have hit on a few of the programs that need to approve the comment before it shows up.

That’s always a possibility, GP. The two I noticed first are sites I always comment on though, Ron, and Olga. But they are self-hosted come to think of it, so perhaps that’s the issue this morning?
Best wishes, Pete.
