A funny post.
Question: What do you do with a “drive by commentators?” This reminds me of drive by “likers”. I call them hit-and-run. Worst are posts that use “pingbacks”.
One of the interesting things about “blogging” is what happens off-line. WordPress has a feature for “comments” and it is a controllable feature. You can allow all comments and then remove inappropriate ones as you see fit. But then that means you have to monitor; sometimes manners and charity are not hallmarks of text and comments left behind. It takes time. Not willing to dedicate time to the supervising task? The blog administrator can not allow any comments at all. That takes no additional time to oversee. There is at least one “middle way.” You can allow comments but require that all comments be approved before they are posted on one’s blog. That takes some time, but you have the luxury of getting to such things when you have time.

I let Askimet check things out for me. I have to admit, I often wonder how much work it is for you, P., to go through the comments you get and decipher them. Good for you. I’m taking the lazy way! 🙂
It can be a pain sometimes when I have to trash and block some and keep on checking which one went to spam that I want to redirect back to the post. If it’s way too long, I make a post out of them. I might just have to try your tricks, Tk.
When I go back to check what Askimet decided was junk, I agree. Only once the past two years did I disagree. And it was because someone had put in two links for me. Pretty good, eh?
I will check my settings. Thank you.
MOL Hit-and-run…and they’re always the same hitters… we have to read the original now, someone reblogged this one…MOL.. Pawkisses for a happy week, dear Seeker 🙂
Tee hee… Don’t you get those “hit and run likers?” Within a second I posted, I get a like right away. Have great week to you as well, Granma and Blinkey.
There is another way to prevent comments from coming in: use the log on feature. When I see that on a blog, I am often discouraged to comment. The wait to log on takes ages and if ever you are lucky to get though that notice thatt the “comment could not posted” is a real turn off.
Yah, I don’t understand that process at all.
I will try to comment on your site and see if the log on feature appears. I know you probably did not notice it, but those who comments do.
I don’t have that feature.
On the next window is your site. The log on feature appears. I will try to post a comment on your post Remembering Robin Williams and check if it will register. I tell you right away what happens.
I suppose it shows on yours but not on mine, can you post a screen shot on this on your next post 🙂
I have not tried that because I do not know how. Sorry.
no problema.
Here’s the notice when I try to comment.:

I’ve seen that on other site? I’ll ask the Support Forum tomorrow. Or I will check my set-up tomorrow. Thanks.
I am waiting to be connected to WordPress. ????
I am connected but this baffles me.
It’s all a mystery…..!
I am in. I posted the comment.
Then, this is what is shown:
Sorry, this comment could not be posted.
Darn. I’m checking my settings….
In other sites, I give up easily. At your site, I tried everything but it fails. What I do is wait for a few days, I will click like and comment days later. You might notice this before. That was my solution.
Try again….. I made changes and lets see if it’s working now.
I am on the page. The log on feature is there with email added. Nope, It did not change. Sorry.
Good grief. Okay, time to check with the Support Group. I also disabled the e-mail notifications as well and that works. Thank and you. I go nanight.
If this does not change, I will follow my old solution. Wait for a few days before going to your site. I had less problems doing so,
Thank you for bearing with me on this. I hope we correct this problem ASAP.
I changed all my settings and disabled the comments section including the log on features and e-mails. Then, I completely logged out. I went to Goggle and typed 3psbyseeker. I managed to post a comment and it registered as me without any log on features. I did not receive any e-mail notifications either. This is all a mystery, indeed.
I tried to post on the Helen Keller post. Same thing happens. I am very confused now why you can and I can’t comment. I don’t know if this is an individual problem or is it just random.
Even the notifications page does not register a successful reply arrow like it used to. I am on the page.
Well, we just wait and see.
I have to sign out for a while. Lunch. Kain tayo. 🙂
Sige. Tulog na ako. Salamat.
Don’t worry, Hanap tayo paraan. Pinoy tayo, di ba? (laughs)
Goodnight! 😀
na night. 🙂
I got it. Did you log in the main WP?https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php
I logged out again and goggled one of my post and this came up:
Best place for you to leave your presence. Write.:
I typed Test and clicked on the post comment
Please log in using one of these methods to post your comment (this is because I am not log in WP!
Problem solved on my part. 🙂
The log on feature is out now. Back to the same old best. I successfully posted comments.
The Reader is back to its good working condition. I hope this stays.
Thanks for the tip. If the old problem comes back, I will try what you discovered.
P.S. I’ve asked other readers to tell me what happens when they comment. Maybe will make a post on this silly thing. 🙂
Please do. This problem crops up at random. Why?
Okay, I unchecked where you have to fill out your bio. Try again.
I will reload your post page and try again. Please wait.
