I am no longer using the wordpress reader, since I don’t want to make comments that others can change into anything from threats, to promises for a million dollars, to praises or complaints or obscenities or anything. WP sees nothing wrong with allowing us to edit the words of others and thus leave things that WE DID NOT SAY available online in our names, so I don’t trust them. *shrug* Everyone’s mileage may vary, but I don’t want to take part in it. I’ll let you all know here where I move the blog or other website to. Best wishes to all.

Wow girl this is crazy!!! I will REALLY miss your wonderful and thoughtful comments, truly!! Please let me know where you will be headed when, or IF, you leave WordPress. I would love to follow you and your story if you continue to post or blog elsewhere. My email is lynn.shatteredwish@gmail.com should you choose to contact me. Thanks for the warning girl!! ❤

I also find this strange, and never alter comments I allow onto my blog. However, I do occasionally correct typos and spelling mistakes, to make those who comment look better! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I figure that errors can stand on their own, since it is more like a record of the person’s thoughts, however imperfect–if someone replied and said something like “I meant to say now instead of not”, then I can see it might make sense to edit with their permission.

what in the heck is going on with WP and all these changes they have made? Who are they gearing their website to? This is crazy….and all so very sudden.

I agree comments shouldn’t be changed, but like another comment before mine, I also will correct really bad spelling or error if I know the person well, either in life, or a long-time commenter on the blog and I on theirs. I wouldn’t mind that someone would correct errors that might embarrass me, but I would never change the meaning of the content. I would delete it first if I found it objectionable. Another problem I have found is once in a while a comment will go to the Spam box and at times it has been someone who regularly comments on my blog. So check your spam box now and then.

I always check all comments a few times a day, both pending and spam, since things get put into the wrong place a lot. I make sure that I have that akismet thing set to less strict, so it does not delete comments without even telling me. Otherwise some of my clients’ comments get lost without either of us knowing about it.

Hmmmm….I better check mine to see if that is why some comments end up in the spam. Thanks for the tip.

Not only would they end up in spam, but akismet smugly takes it upon itself to delete comments it thinks are spam without telling you about it–

Hmmm…I will definitely be on guard for this. Thanks.

One of my other posts addresses it and shows in the comments where to find the setting. Otherwise it just says that it has stopped 500 or however many spam comments, and then if you did not want that to happen, you’ll never see those comments again.
