Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do some comments show as deleted?
Comments shown as deleted were due to technical problems by the Blog admin. Comments posted contravened the usage guidelines here. They were re-published with the offending text removed. Since comments are now moderated (i.e reviewed before publishing) this shouldn't usually happen any more unless I receive a valid complaint and a good reason to remove a post.
Why has my comment not appeared?
This is usually because it contravened the usage guidelines here. If you want to know why then email the Blog admin by clicking here. Usually it is a small piece of the comment that has caused a problem and can be modified if you review it in light of the rejection cause and resubmit.
I responded to a comment and my reply did not appear.
Again, this is because it contravened the usage guidelines here. Generally a point can be made and then responded to. This keeps things manageable. If you have more to say on a subject why not submit an article by clicking here. Please keep the guidelines in mind if you do.
Surely this is all a bit over the top?
It may seem a bit over the top but the internet is a publishing medium like any other and is governed by the same rules as newspapers or TV. We have to abide by them. They do, in fact, help to make better articles as a side effect.
