  Why am I no longer able to comment on other WordPress blogs? For the last 24 hours or so my comments have failed to show up on WordPress blogs where I regularly comment. I type my message in the comment box, click to publish it, and then it simply disappears. These aren’t blogs that have required administrator approval of comments before.

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

  What are the specific URLs of the posts you cannot comment on please? We need to determine if they are published on WordPress.COM hosted blogs or not.

  Here’s one I tried commenting on:

  And here’s another:

  http://murderbymedia.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/obama-cartoon-called-racist-for-reference-to-watermelon-flavored-toothpaste-updated/

  I contacted one of the bloggers and he said he hasn’t even seen any comments from me lately.

  I think you may want to contact Akismet Staff directly.

  What I posted is predicated upon you submitting comments and not seeing them approved and displayed. If you have difficulty in actually creating and submitting comments then please post again.

  Thanks. Another blogger told me my comments showed up as spam.

  Aha! Then it does seem your comments are being caught mistakenly as spam.
