Tell Me What's Wrong here
So I decided to become more active in giving site comments. This I had avoided for a long time because in my early experience here, I realised that not all comments were approved.
I am ok with that, but tell me, what's wrong here?
I gave the following comment on a site promoting a product:
"I have learned the hard way that whenever a website promises something that sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It is easy to say that this would have cost you $599 but we are giving you a discounted price of $97 dollars for a very limited time. The idea is to build that desire in the reader that he would not want to miss out on a good deal. According to what I have read here, there's no way I would consider spending my cash to purchase ECOM CASH CODE."
It was not approved.
I got the following response in my email this morning:
"The following reason was noted as the reason for this happening.
Sorry but no question as requested is included in the comment.

Can someone please explain to me where I went wrong?
I am at a loss.
This makes me wary of offering comments.

Sometimes when people ask for a question, it feels too awkward to ask one if I feel they have answered all my questions in their post. While I understand that the question asking prompt is an important part of commenting, I also feel that it it can make our responses seem more stiff and "fake." I have decided not to tick that box anymore when I ask for comments just because I think it makes our responses seem less genuine. If I really have a question, I'll ask it whether the author requested comments or not.
That probably doesn't help much. I certainly would have approved your comment. You were giving your honest opinion of the product...

I have learned the hard way that sometimes I am just not receiving the information the writer was going for. I take this as a good chance to learn and move forward. We can't always deliver the requested statement the writer wants. It is no biggie. You tried, and getting rejected is simply a part of the deal.
Get back in there and offer more commits, always consider what the writer is requesting and do your best. Often they are just coming from a different view than you, just like he likes green shirts, you like blue. You learn so much when you offer commits to use to improve your own site. Don't let this discourage you.

Good evening my friend, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your comment, and you did not get rejected because you did not ask a question. Sometimes, what the person is seeking is, they want you to say how great the article is and how great the offer is and that you're taking it in to purchase. The reason being is your comment could be the balance between someone buying or not buying. That's all it is my dear friend, don't stress, have a great week.

Is the part most of us are reacting to. The requesting author states they asked for a question that was not included.
What I'm trying to say I have gave comments where I have not asked a question and they were accept however, I have also gave comments that I had reacted as he did and they were not kept.
Good evening my dear friend, I understood exactly what you are referring to. The only thing that I was hoping to get understood was I have made comments without asking questions, and they had been received. I have also gave comment as he did and they were not receive, they were rejected. And what I have learned since 2018, the comments that we give if the request is concerning about the overall article. The person that requested the comments, is seeking to have a positive comment that will help them sell their product or services, to a potential buyer that may read the comments.
Hi Russel. Reading your comment and the reason for rejection of your comment is that you provided no questions as requested. I have been rejected for the same reason even if my comment, in my opinion, was a very good comment to the article I commented on.
For me, the lesson learned to be very sure about what is requested of the type of comments you provide. if there is a requirement also for a question, and it is not there in your comment, the comment will be rejected.
I hope this helps in explaining your question.

Even you have followed WA guidelines commenting, but the site owner still has the right to disapprove. It is nothing wrong with you or the site owner. It is a choice of the site owner.
Now your site content commenting by the visitor with all kinds of thinking and opinion. If you disapprove of one visitor's comments, will you possibly lose more than ten visitors?
The same is you are his visitor visiting his site, giving him a comment, he chooses not to approve your comment means he is picking people not to visit his website. Who will lose, please guess yourself?
WA platform and community members do not have anything wrong. The site owner is nothing wrong; he has the authority to reject visitors.
I understand your point of view Stephen. Thank you.
