This reminds me of North East local papers the Shields Gazette – I’d occasionally post a slightly argumentative comment and it never made it past moderation.

Then I tried a less argumentative point of view – still nothing.

Then I just wrote glowingly about the SG – and still nothing.

Like the other commenter said – I reckoned they just didn’t turn it on – or couldn’t be bothered to moderate a growing backlog of comments.

I agree, that this situation us really awful, if the author, wants to know other people’s opinion he should post comments, even if they are criticize his article or correct it. And of moderator post only positive comments, I think it is not fair to other readers.

Do they actually have a moderator or is it just they forgot to turn off the comment function.
Get with the programme Daily Mail.
