"No comment"

[StillStunned]

I'm wondering if there is something going on with comments at the moment, similar to the pending-purgatory story-side i.e. comments getting stuck in moderation.

No real evidence, just a hunch.

By the evidence of my new story that's been up for a little over 24 hours:


Half those comments are my replies, but that still leaves 14 reader comments. If there's a shortage of comments being published, I don't think it's to do with the site.

How do you know these things? I've never seen posts to this effect from Manu or Laurel.

The two-tiered comment system is obvious. When your comments stop "waiting moderation" and start "posting successfully" as soon as you hit the submit button, you know you've made the nice list.
