And now...instant comment posting seems to have disappeared again 🙄

About once every 2 or 3 days. Not totally sure it's all of them but when I've checked it's been quick.

I see. It seems like a privilege of a sort. I don't really comment often, but as I said, my comment has never been published in less than several hours. Anyone else has this "privilege" of having instant comments?

For what it's worth, I don't have instant comments. My guess is that it's automatically granted by some combination of a minimum number of comments, a minimum number of recent comments, and a low number (possibly none) of comments that were deleted by Laurel/Manu. If you don't comment often, that would explain it.

I suppose that could be it. It would hardly be surprising, considering how the website works

You are saying that for weeks now, all your comments have been published instantly or near instantly? How often do you comment?

I comment on probably seven to ten stories a day. And all mine have posted immediately since the change last month or the month before

Thank you for that information. This is so Lit - like.

So I wrote a one word comment on my own story, basically confirming the implied question from a commenter - I wrote "Bingo! " It has been 16 hours and it hasn't been published yet. This website...

i assumed that my comments were being moderated because I had offended the BTB trolls.

Probably a stupid question, but just to be sure: Are you sure they're actually posted, or is it just that weird new display they implemented?

When I post a comment, it shows up with the other comments underneath the textarea instantly, as if it had been posted. But if I then reload the page, in about half the cases, my comment is gone, just to then publicly appear about an hour or so later.

Don't know for sure, but it shows up on the Feedback Portal almost immediately

I've commented and then seen the author reply in a comment on the story page within an hour.

I just had a comment post instantly. I guess I must be a good guy.

I've never doubted that

My one word comment on my own story has been published after 24 hours. Yeah, I guess I am a bad guy
