  People are sending me emails stating that they have made comments on some of the articles on my blog and that they are not showing up. I am also not able to see their comments by clicking the comments link below each article. I can see my comments just fine when I make them as administrator. I do not have any type of comment moderation setup in my blog. Users are not rquired to be registered and logged in to comment.

  Comments do appear in the Manage Comments screen and when I check them and approve them thinking that may solve the problem the comments are still not displayed below the article. It is frustrating the hell out of me as I have searched for some errant setting that I may have missed but I have been over all the admin screens dozens of times looking for a solution. Comments are also emailed to the respective author but they do not see the comments they receive on the blog either.

  is this a wordpress.COM blog? I’m thinking that it isn’t – that you should be at
  wordpress.ORG/support <<<< we’re not self hosted here and have not downloaded the software, wordpress. have you downloaded the wordpress software and are using it that way? if so, head to wordpress.ORG/support.

  You’ll need to be over at WordPress.org. We can’t help you here:

  I’m over at wordpress.com and am unable to leave a comment on anybody’s blog no matter what I do. I’ve been using WP for over a month now and have never had this problem before.

  Ok. I figured out the problem. These comments that aren’t going through are because they are being routed into the spam filters of those blogs we comment on. This is a recent issue. People are having problems commenting on my blog as well. I have to keep fetching them from my spam filter. They are innocuous comments. And it’s odd that the spam engine is calling these comments “spam” even though these comments don’t have any links or abusive text of any kind.

  I will forward this on to the support team in hopes that this issue will be resolved soon.
