Some comments were deleted, how could this happen?

  • Unknown's avatar

    When I logged onto my blog this morning, there were 4 deleted comments on blog posts. There are three administrators on this blog, and none of them deleted these comments. I’ve approved the comments, but they still say that they were deleted.
    We thought that maybe the person who commented deleted them, but I found that they cannot edit or delete their comments. Only admins can, which prompted me to be quite confused as to how the comments for deleted.
    Is there another way to delete comments?
    We are just trying to figure out who, and how, the comments came to be deleted.
    Thanks.

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

    Only one Admin per blog is the recommendation.

    re: hacked accounts and blogs

    If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from it, or changing anything in it, or if your blog has been deleted and you did not delete it, then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.

    Staff have records of who did what under which username and login information and when they did it. I flagged this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. Note that there is a backlog and be patient while waiting.
