Too much comment moderation on my blog
-
Hey 🙂
does your wife is able to comment on other WordPress websites?Keep in mind that
1) Comments with bunch of links, keywords, and strange characters – This is the most obvious type of spam comment, and you should not have a hard time telling it apart from a real comment.
2) Comment with a Fake Name – If you see a comment that’s being left by a person named “Best Mortgage Rates” or “Cheap Printer Ink”, then you can clearly tell it’s a marketer trying to spam your site for a backlink.
3) Generic Comments – Often spammers rely on generic comments to bypass your spam filter. These generic comments are “Thank You”, “Really Nice Article”, or insert title of your post and make a generic statement (example: I agree beginners guide to comment moderation is essential).

I have one person who comments on my blog who always goes to moderation. This person is my wife, so I know her comment isn’t spam. I do not have any keywords entered in the discussion settings, and I have the number of hyperlinks allowed as 3. She does have a website on her profile, but other frequent commenters with a website bypass moderation just fine after the first comment is approved. I have approved several comments for her, but each new comment still requires moderation.
How can I find out what is causing her comments to always require moderation?
Thanks!
