It looks like there's a growing issue that a lot of us are facing lately, and I think it's worth bringing up. Many of us have noticed that our comments and upvotes have started to ๐™™๐™ž๐™จ๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™–๐™ง. Well, not exactly, theyโ€™re still there, but it turns out theyโ€™re only visible to us, and not to the rest of the community. This issue seems to be affecting quite a few fellow influencers and long-time contributors. It appears that Product Huntโ€™s spam-detection system is flagging accounts more aggressively, especially those with consistent commenting styles. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—œ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ปโ€”especially with the rise of AI-generated commentsโ€”itโ€™s a bit frustrating when genuine, long-term members get caught in the mix ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜† ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. The lack of transparency here is what's been most challenging. Imagine spending time crafting thoughtful feedback, only to realize that no one can see it. Itโ€™s a huge blow, especially for those who have been part of this community for years. Has anyone else been experiencing this? And what are your thoughts on how Product Hunt can improve this process to balance moderation with keeping the voices of real contributors heard? Letโ€™s discuss and see if we can come up with some constructive ideas to make things better! ๐Ÿ’ฌ Youโ€™re not alone if this has happened to you, and I believe together we can make a positive change. (:

I'm facing this issue as well. Can't see my comments or posts at all. I don't think it's completely fixed yet.

We had a slight issue in rolling out a new comment moderation system which resulted in some longtime community members' comments being hidden until a mod team unhid them. I believe we've corrected this now and it shouldn't be an issue going forward.

@rajiv_ayyangar I also noticed some comments are visible in the mobile app, but not in the web version (but only replies are visible). You can check my first launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@rajiv_ayyangar Hey Rajiv, Iโ€™m still unable to see my posts or comments. It seems like the issue might not be fully resolved yet. Could you please look into this further? Thank you!

@rajiv_ayyangar My product has been launched today and I am not able to see people who have commented on my product, is it setting issue or a Product Hunt bug ?

@rajiv_ayyangar โ€” my Maker comment is not showing up on my launched post. I've heard from other commenters that their comments haven't shown up either. Can y'all help please? We've put a lot of effort into our launch. Here's our page: https://www.producthunt.com/post... Here's my Maker comment that should be visible but isn't: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
