Comments Being Moderated When They Shouldn’t

  • Hi.

    About a dozen regular commenters have started to go into moderation, randomly, for no apparent reason.

    I haven’t changed any settings and their comments don’t include links or smiley faces.

    It’s not key word related as I haven’t entered any key words in the Setting page under Discussions.

    Under Settings > Discussion, the box has been selected “Comment author must have a previously approved comment.”

    I am using the Thesis Theme. My blog is ShadesofCrimson.com

    Does anyone know of any theme or plugin incompatibilities that might cause this?

    Any ideas on how to fix this? Support would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • I’m having the same thing going on (2.7.1). I too have the

    “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”

    checked, but they go into moderation frequently (and randomly).

    I have the following plugins installed that influence comments:

    defensio
    ajaxed wordpress (for better comment threading)

    I’ve got no blacklisted words, I’ve checked that both the email and name are identical in the previous posts and the new held posts, and the comments do not have links (or are under my link threshold)

    Any ideas?

    Did anyone ever figure this out? This goes a step further for me. Since upgrading to 2.9, when I reply to a comment from the Dashboard, my comment (as an admin) is held for moderation. Very frustrating and I can’t seem to find any solution or real discussion of the issue anywhere else.

    I’ve the same problem. I don’t want to moderate each and every comment. Please help! I want to auto approve and then get the list of latest comments so that I can unapprove if needed.
