Posting a new article creates fake comments
-
This is something which has only started happening today- whenever I post a new article I automatically get notifications saying that I need to moderate comments. The thing which confuses me the most is that the comments are apparently written by the posts themselves- the author name above the comment is just the name of one of my articles.
