Follow up comment

I often use the Site Comment platform and after commenting on a blog, I always go back to the site just to see how the author has responded to my comment. In cases where I am sincerely interested in the article, I give a follow up comment only to go back again later and find my comment gone.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I mean, why won't anyone not approve or delete a comment from the same person? Don't you want to interact with your readers? This happened to me twice, the same website.

There has been a LOT of discussion about the comment/feedback system. Many members are upset because they are not getting what they think they need or want - some are complaining about why they are getting a feedback when they really want a comment, etc., etc., etc..

The comments you offer may not fit into their 'mold' and so, they delete them and you are left with not knowing why.

Have you tried to email /PM them to ask why you are deleted?

Hi Mickey, no I haven't contacted him to ask why he deleted my comment. But now that you mentioned it, I will. Thanks.

Some people are very fussy about their comments. I wouldn't put too much merit in it. As long as you are replying and being engaging at the same time, then you are doing a good job.
I have found not to worry about what other people are doing so it does not affect the way I react.

I always try to leave relevant comments Brad, but maybe he just didn't think it was relevant to his post.

True. One just doesn't know what people think sometimes.
Keep up the good work.

This hasn't happened to me...yet. Whenever I leave a comment, I always try to ask a question to start a conversation. It's surprising to me that they're rarely answered.

Me too Karen, I always try to ask a question when I leave comments on people's sites.

Oh wow. I haven't experienced this but I know many people still don't understand the importance of comments.

Hi Linda, it was actually a Christian website so I wanted to discuss with him further about certain matters, and he also encouraged me to explain my thoughts further so I did. I saw my reply got through but when I checked back again for his reply, my comment was gone. Happened twice, separate posts. Makes me wonder why.

some people are so strange and do not understand how important comments to you your site and google ranking!

Paul

Exactly my thoughts, Paul. Because if it were me, I would love the same reader who commented to come back for additional queries or input.

Absolutely!!!

paul

comments are really important. Your issue should be seen solved by our community.

Hi H,

I just find it odd that the author did not want to engage further, considering that he does not have to use "credits" to get my comments.

I go back like you to see what the author of the post said and leave a follow up comment if they replied.

I have not seen my further comments deleted. Maybe you just got unlucky and found a few odd ducks? I can't think of any reason someone would do that.

Hi Jessica,

I was surprised, really. He encouraged me to ask further questions and when I did, he deleted it. I'm sure it got through because after leaving my reply, it says my comment is waiting moderation.

He used the site comment platform to get comments on his article but does not want further engagement? I found that odd!

I check back also Alice

Hi Mike, have you ever offered a follow up comment and was disapproved or deleted?

Never had that happen Alice!
