I have just become aware that a few comments on my blog were marked as spam and instantly deleted. This was a fully automated process and I was not notified. If you are one of the people to post a comment on my blog, please re-post your comment and accept my apologies for this technical error.

I have traced this issue to a failed update of my spam software running on the blog. It appeared to have updated fine but was failing to report any comments marked as spam. I think the issue is now rectified but I cant be 100% positive until a few comments are marked as spam and reported.

If you do post a comment it should show up straight away as I do not pre-moderate my comments. If you notice your comment isn’t displayed straight away, please get in touch.

****UPDATE****

OK this still seems to be an ongoing issue, I am in contact with the spam software company but I am going to temporarily disable the software. I will be keeping a close eye on the comments but please forgive me if there are questionable comments on the site, I will be deleting them as quick as I can! If it gets too bad I will switch to vetting comments before they go live until this issue is fixed.

The software company have been through some tests and everything now looks like its working (fingers crossed)
