Moderated comment??

What does it mean when a comment is posted on a blog and in the lower left of the comment box there is a little person icon and when you mouse over it it says "moderated comment"?

Howdy, I may not have the exact answer.. I was looking at your blog to see what you were talking about, and could not find it.

Sometimes people post inappropriate comments on people's blogs (advertising, etc.) and they are moderated, meaning a moderator removes them.

That's all this means, not that someone is moderating your every move on your blog :thumbup:

Actually it happened on a comment I made. I didn't see anything wrong and it is all stuff I have written before.

I wish someone would answer my question. There isn't any other place to ask it.

If you can post a link to the thread, I will be happy to look into it for you and answer your question.

It may have simply got caught in the spam system for some reason and had to be released before being posted, in which it case it may show up as moderated.

It probably did as I said, got held up in our spam check because you posted links to another website. Frequently, spammers post links to other sites (usually porn) so our system holds them up for approval so we can make sure they are ok to post. Obviously, yours was fine and we released it.
