What's the "standard" for what comments are approved on a DansDeals post? I just posted a comment on 2 recent blog posts. One critical and one complimentary. One got approved and one didn't (you can guess which one). So I guess my question is (a) is there an official DD policy against negative comments, even if they aren't written in any kind of angry or disparaging way?, and (b) what incentive is there for people to post how they feel about posts if they are only approved when the moderator agrees with it?
And if people are wondering, I tried to post the comment below to this post:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/84455"What does one do with a gps unit these days? I keep mine in the same drawer as my pager and palm pilot
"
And then the comment below to this post, which got approved:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/84453"I’m never targeted for these amazon stuff. but thank you for making clear from the title and the very top of the post that this is targeted. lots of these blogs out there go clickbait hard on this kinda stuff. thanks for not being sleazy!"
Why is it fair that readers only get to see positive stuff that people post? That would give a flawed view of the blog. And for the record, I like 99 out of 100 posts I see. I am very grateful for DD and DDF.
