cannot post comments on Profootballtalk

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am not able to add comments to ANT posts on pro football.com It used to say waiting for moderation. now nothing. I can add vote thumbs up or down but nothing else. Have I been banned or something?? The Moderation on that site is the shabbiest I have ever seen, there are no rules posted anywhere and it seems certain teams fan comments, some downright filthy and obviously flaming and trolling are left up, other team fans are modded out without explination or reason. If I can’t get an answer I am just going to drop the whole site, the news is good but very poorly moderated.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Anybody else know how to address moderation issues on the Pro Football talk site?
    It seems certain teams fans get a bye in posting (Packers) on other teams stories, I am talking personal attacks on other fans and those comments get left alone, even tasteless posts laughing and makinf fun of disasters like the I 90 bridge collapse in Minnesota (my Uncle died that day) Having NOTHING at all remotely to do with the story, get left up. and simple replies get randomly deleted with ZERO explenation, there are NO rules for posting anywhere to be found, and if there are the are ignored for some teams..
    I tried to post on the Browns suspension saying it was a Coaching issue as much as a player issue. but now NOTHING not even the saying awaiting moderation. I cannot post on any story! have I been blackballed? if so I am going to raise some hell IF I can find any sort of contact info.

    I can’t reply to any posts. It used to say awaiting on Moderation, now nothing. I can vote up or down. Have I been Blackballed? what is up, beside the crappy moderation with unconditional delete power and very obvious team preferences. Even tasteless as leaving a post up laughing about the I-90 Bridge Disaster in Minnesota!! Nothing to do with the story just a Trolling Packer fan flaming the site (My Aunt and Uncle died that day, crushed in their car, pinned and drowned)!
    There are no forum rules to be found and no way to challenge moderation issues!

    Wordpress.com doesn’t interfere with how people run their site orhow they handle comments. Only if a site running on the wordpress.com platform violates our Terms of Service or User Guidelines, the site can be suspended. But that is clearly not the case here.

    Hey there, hope you don’t mind me adding to this thread. Please first note that email addresses are automatically redacted by our forum software for your own security as this is a public forum.

    Adding to what @staartmees said, I found both of your later replies caught by our forum spam filter, which means it is possible that you’ve been flagged as spam.

    The best way to address this is by heading over to Akismet (our spam filtering program) at https://akismet.com/contact/ and fill out the form there after ticking “I think Akismet is catching my comments by mistake.” Make sure you are either logged in with this WordPressdotcom account or use the email address associated with this account.

    Please keep in mind that Akismet has nothing to do with how the site you indicated is moderated. They can only help with the issue of having been marked as spam.

    Cheers.
