It was introduced a couple of months ago in response to spam attacks through story comments. It's most likely a text-bot looking for links and so on, but not a human being. Seems to be working, comment spam has disappeared. Trolls remain, however.
It takes about fifteen minutes to loop through the process. It doesn't affect the author's ability to delete or keep comments. It also doesn't over-ride Laurel's ability to purge any comment she chooses.
CandiCame - as a story's author it's up to you to delete or keep comments, using whatever criteria you choose. There are some folk who keep every comment as a matter of principle, there are others who tidy up the garbage. There are others still who block all anon comments, there are those who block all comments. It's completely up to you, how you manage comments.
Thanks Blue. Guess that shows how long it's been since I've let a comment on a story. BTW, great description about how to manage (or not manage) comments.
