Disappearing Comments

I have noticed, on several of the blogs that I follow, that whilst my comments appear to publish initially, when I go back they have disappeared.

On my own blog some comments are ending up in my spam folder - it is completely random, one day a persons comment will appear as normal and the next that same persons comment will be in my spam folder, it has even happened when a person has left two comments one after the other, the first published as normal and the second appeared in my spam folder.

I have noticed comments disappear on the following blogs recently

Lia's Design

Bad Kitty's Craft Room

I'm sorry if anyone that normally receives comments from me is no longer receiving them, I would recommend checking the Spam folder on your blog, if they are not there then blogger is just removing them.  I have left feedback for blogger on my blog and would suggest that anyone who thinks they are not recieving comments does the same, perhaps if they get enough feedback they will do something about it!

I will continue leaving comments as normal and hopefully things will be sorted out soon.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

  4. Hi Pauline, I too have noticed that on one blog that I leave comments on each time she publishes a post, the comments don't actually appear every time - I have asked her to check her spam folder, but who knows what Blogger is doing now

  6. I have had exactly the same problem Pauline and finding comments everyday in my spam still! Yesterday I visitied someones blog who I comment on every day and when I posted my comment I got the message -only DT members are allowed to comment on this blog??? I have messaged her to let her know-sure they are trying to get rid of all us bloggers for some reason

  7. I discovered quite a while ago that comments were going to the spam folder, but as you say one day they appear as normal and another they go into spam. I now regularly check the spam folder, it surprising what does end up there.

  11. I have seen the same thing. I am wondering if blogger is having some issues.

  12. I'm having no problem Pauline. My comments though have diminished, I no long receive as many as I used to, but they are not going to spam, just folks not leaving comments for whatever reason, it's all changing I think, that and perhaps people not finding the time now, I keep going though Kate x

  14. I’m still getting genuine comments in the spam folder on my blog too. I’ve just been scrolling through all your recent post I’ve missed. What a beautiful collection of cards. For some reason your posts haven’t been appearing in my Reading List, so I missed them when they were posted. I’ve noticed this with several other blogs I follow. So frustrating! xx

  15. I've noticed this too Pauline. Several of the comments I receive have ended up in my spam folder each day and I have to go and look for them. I have also heard reports of Blogger limiting the amount of comments you can leave in any one day too. A message appears saying 'you have created the maximum number of comments for today' - it's all crazy and not helping in the fight to keep people using the platform. I'll leave feedback too.

  17. Hi Pauline, I have none go into Spam, but I'm not getting as many comments as I usually did? I thought people were not liking my posts any more, good to know in a way that there are problems, perhaps people like my posts after all?

    Thanks for all the information you are getting out there.

  19. Hello, Pauline! Happened to notice your question and wanted to weigh in. I am not blogging much lately but when I did last, I noticed a different problem. It seems that I receive the email notification as usual, but if I click through to my blog post, several of the comments are not there. My comments are not moderated so this problem seems to be a strange one. I will now go check my spam to see what I find. Thank you for raising the issue as I assumed I was the only one with a Blogger problem. Sending hugs and happy wishes from Canada!

  21. I have the same issues. Some days your comments publish, and other days they show up as spam several days later and I have to publish them again. I'd say it's a fluke, but it's been going on so long, I'm beginning to believe it's intentional to put an end to blogging for some sinister reason.

  23. I thought Im crazy.
    I know I left comments on some blogs but they didnt appeared.
    I always check my spam because sometimes there are some that was not published.
    lately blogger is gone crazy.
