Unfortunately, after almost 10 years of Blogging, I have been forced to change my settings on my Blog this morning.
I woke up to 79 emails showing 79 comments on my Christmas Blog by a Company posting advertising for some silly product.
I do apologize that in my haste and ANGER to DELETE and REMOVE all those comments, I inadvertently deleted ALL recent comments.
I
apologize to my fellow Bloggers and non- Bloggers for deleting some of
your comments. I did not intend to do so and I tried to restore them but
apparently, you can not do that.
I changed my settings to Comment Moderation!!
I
had hoped to never do that but because of some idiots who did not read
the notice on my Blogs not to leave advertisements in my Comment
section, I have been forced to do so.
To readers of my Blogs:
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS because I so enjoy hearing from you and as soon as I read them, I will post them!!
My apologies that I have been forced to do take this action!
Hugs,
Deb
I will continue to post a comment, Debbie. You can go into your settings and list the name of those you don't want to come through..it goes directly to spam (if you have a gmail account). I am sorry you had that happen to you. Happy Monday- xo Diana
ReplyDeletethat is a good idea. I need to do that. Sometimes i need to send some comments to spam, manually.
DeleteActually, my comment went right through and I didn't have to do a verification step at all. It will just be on your end to check and post the comment. Commenters won't see any difference on our end-except that the comment doesn't post immediately. A lot of blogs are like that.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand, Debbie! I don't know what's happening in today's world. Craziness! Every now and then I get comments from writers who say a bunch of nothing - I guess they're practicing writing but they're not doing a very good job of it.We all have our problems - FB has blocked me from logging in until they can verify my photo. It will be one week tomorrow. I can't do anything about it either. At least there's a way for you to stop what's going on with your comment section. Have a great Thanksgiving, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteDo not worry, we blogger friends totally understand this.
ReplyDeleteoh so sorry Debbie. I hope this solves your issue. You certainly don't need this stress on top of everything. I will continue to comment as I enjoy reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteNot a blogger, but I totally understand. We receive the strangest telephone calls at work from people would are bored or have serious personal issues. And that's in addition to unsolicited sales calls! Good thing I rarely answer outside calls! ;)
ReplyDeleteJust want to let you know that I enjoy your blog! I never decorated for holidays or seasons to the extent you do, but I was known for going a bit overboard for Christmas. Doubt I will do that in the future, but I certainly enjoy the creativity and work of others!
Thanks for sharing with us.
