^^

actually i don't have ba on feedly either (just individual ba blogs) but then that's cuz the blog posts are excerpts :p

I've noticed I am getting a "Your comment is awaiting moderation" now when I comment on BoardingArea. Nothing in my comments that would warrant holding back a post for moderation (such as a link). Spillover effect from being censored by other blogs on BA?

That setting is managed on a per-blogger basis; it is not something which can "spill over" between the blogs.

This is on both Ben and Gary's blogs. I am pretty sure neither hold back comments for moderation.

they do if it's from a new email address. i changed my email recently and noticed the same, the usual people let them through. still waiting for my post on milevalue pointing out the $150 sign up for discover to go through though

Not a new email. I suspect either the email or IP is flagged. No reason for either to be flagged.

wait and see. IIRC this is not your first bout of paranoia on this thread

Wait and see for what? I'm not paranoid. Just wondering why comments would be held for moderation on either of those blogs.

These are the general options available within wordpress:

Names and keywords can also be blacklisted natively but IP addresses cannot be.

There are other plug-ins which can blacklist IP addresses or usernames but, IME, those don't show the user that it is held for moderation; they just get dropped.

It is also possible that some combination of the words used tripped up the anti-spam filter. I found one of those today in my queue and I have no idea what made that trigger but it did. Not all the bloggers bother examining the spam queue very closely as, depending on the blog, it can be hundreds to thousands of messages daily.

I don't examine my spam queue at all - better things to do than trawl through 300 viagra plugs each day looking for a comment by someone who for some reason used the word viagra in a genuine comment .....!

That's fine as long as the spam filter is halfway intelligent. Travel-related blogs need to allow the otherwise dodgy "XXX", for example -- not just because grateful readers might sign their comments with three kisses, but also to allow for routings along the lines of LHR-XXX-LAX.

Good job most of us don't regularly travel through Gamarra airport in Colombia -- via GRA. ;)

Wrong post

Delta Points has got to be the worse when it comes to censoring.
I commented on the Sunday fireside chats which appear to be copied from MMS interview series and got Censored!!!
I merely stated that MMS had interviewed most of the bloggers already so there was no need to repeat the process
