What does it actually mean when my comments are awaiting moderation? I’ve been seeing that on almost all my comments for the past two days, and the story author hasn’t replied to any of the comments that displayed that.
I created my account on this site last week after my favorite author on another site announced he was going from 5 chapters/week to 4 chapters/week to spend more time on a new story he was only publishing here. This site has a significantly better ui, and because of that(and because I’d been meaning to anyway) I decided to reread his 2100 chapter, 5.7 mil word, main project. Because I really enjoy the story I’ve been leaving comments as I go, mostly unimportant, but a few pointing out really bad typos/poor wordings(the author isn’t a native English speaker, and some of the early chapters suffer a bit from that).
Yesterday around 2pm I noticed that my comments weren’t being displayed on the chapter, but were still showing up on my profile, under activity. I decided to ignore it, assuming it was a bug, until I left a reply to someone else’s comment, which displayed as normal, but with a banner saying “your comment is currently awaiting moderation”.
All of the comments from yesterday got approved last night around this time, and my first few comments from today didn’t need moderation. The author basically immediately got back to those first comments today, but still hasn’t responded to any of the ones from yesterday(including ones pointing out typos/poor wording, which he generally fixes quickly and replies with “fix’d”). Because of this, I’m wondering if those comments aren’t sending out notifications for some reason.
Generally I understand that I’ve tripped some sort of anti-bot measure by reading ~2.5m words over the past 6 days and leaving ~100 comments. I just want clarification on specifically what, and if there’s actually a problem with notifications.(and also if this can be resolved)
(sorry this is a bit rambly, I’ve reworded it way too many times at this point…)
