If you don’t see your comment, despair not…
<p>As part of reactivating my blog, I&#8217;ve had to grovel through over 160,000 back comments over 99% of which were blog spam. I&#8217;ve been doing this by skimming 500-comment chunks of the back list (it&#8217;s normally 20, but I know where to hack the WordPress code to change that). In the process, I have almost certainly made some errors.</p>
<p>So if you submitted a comment recently and have not seen it published, don&#8217;t assume that you&#8217;ve hit a mechanical spam filter or that I&#8217;m purposely deleting your posts. I may have deleted some by accident while skimming. I apologize, and devoutly hope you will never find yourself having to filter that much spam by eyeball.</p>
<p>(And before you ask: Yes, WordPress&#8217;s tools for the job are both weak when they work and buggy in crucial spots. WordPress looks nice but the more I get to know the PHP codebase the less I like what I see.)</p>
