All comments are passed through Akismet and then human moderated. Your comment should show up once we approve it, provided that its not spam.
If the comment completely disappears, it is likely that it was flagged as spam. Please contact us immediately if this happens. We do regularly check our spam queue for legitimate comments, but we may miss yours because of how many comments there are.
As of August 2011, this should not happen anymore. If Akismet thinks your comment is spam, you should be presented with a reCAPTCHA test to prove that you are human. If this test is passed, then your comment will be removed from the spam box and placed into the moderation queue. Note that there is a time limit of 10 minutes to complete the test.
Avoid having too many links in your comment. Having lots of links often causes it to be flagged as spam.
My comment shows up in one browser, but does not exist when I view it in another browser.
Your comment is awaiting moderation. A cookie stores the data that you submitted the comment, so you are able to view your submitted comment even though it is not public yet. After we accept it, it will be public.
My comment wasn’t spam. Why wasn’t it published?
We usually do not accept comments that don’t really say anything and seem to be written just for a backlink. Example comments would be “Nice post!” or “Great article! Very helpful!”. Comments like this are often bot spam simply for backlinks.
In addition, we may choose to delete your comment entirely if it contains links to sites that are clearly spammers, scammers, malicious, etc…
The comment was edited when the comment was published.
We typically do not edit comments. However, in rare cases, if there is something deemed inappropriate, we may edit certain parts, often just links.
We accept all opinionated comments, both positive and negative.
My name changed when the comment was published.
Please use your real name or an alias when commenting. If you use random gibberish or a company name, we will most likely edit it and use any name we like.
What happened to my Website link? Why was it removed?
We remove website links if the site is unsafe for users (malware, spam, or scam) or otherwise not family friendly.
Will my comment name link affect search engine rankings?
Maybe. Become a regular commenter and we might reward you with DoFollow links.
We may choose to keep the NoFollow attribute on your links if we notice you are abusing it by posting useless comments or if your site seems suspicious.
How do I get a custom avatar picture next to my comment?
Sign up for an account at Gravatar, which stands for Globally Recognized Avatar. Avatars are associated with your email address. When you change your Gravatar associated with a particular email address, all comments you published with that email address will have the picture updated. By default, we use an “Identicon” for those without a custom gravatar.
TechAirlines only displays Gravatars with the rating of G (Suitable for all audiences).
I posted a snippet of code, but it vanished!
For security purposes, most code tags are filtered out, causing posted code snippets to vanish. If you are posting code, please use services like Pastebin and provide a link instead. Pastebin allows for easy copying and pasting and provides syntax highlighting.
Alternatively, you can replace all ‘< ' and '>‘ tags with brackets ‘[' and ']‘ instead but Pastebin is preferred.
