I wish this wasn’t becoming a frequent topic of discussion here, though if you’ve tried to comment on any Flightglobal blogs in the last several months you’ve realized that getting comments posted is not as seamless as it should be. Our technical team in London is working to solve this issue for a broader solution that stems from the unimaginable amount of spam that is thrown at this blog and others.
Over time, valid non-spam comments have been caught up in our filter and quickly pushed aside with spam comments being posted at a rate of almost 400 every eight hours. This is a terribly frustrating problem which is being dealt with at the moment. As our team works on fixing the issue and finding both a short term and permanent solution, we expect the existing system to be uneven. As of right now the commenting functionality is down and should hopefully be working again shortly.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
