I\u2019m afraid I owe my readers an apology, so: I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never had a formal comment policy and I tend to exercise a very light touch, deleting comments only that cross the line into inappropriate insults from one commenter to another, or to obscenities, which rarely happens.\u00a0 And for a long stretch I was getting a lot of spam \u2014 you know, the sort of comments with \u201cearn $575 without leaving your house,\u201d which I dutifully identified as Spam and maybe Disqus taught itself how to identify spam because I haven\u2019t had to do that in a while.<\/p>\n
But somewhere along the way, Disqus also began moving \u201creal\u201d comments into the Spam folder.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure what the logic is except that these seem to be particularly long and\/or link-heavy comments, but only when a commenter mentioned that his post seemed to have been caught up in a filter and I checked on this, did I find out that I had a significant number of \u201creal\u201d comments in the spam box, which I\u2019ve now approved.\u00a0 The particular discussions those comments were intended for are in the past now, but if you made such a comment and wondered what happened to it, well, that\u2019s what.<\/p>\n
