Comments held for moderation

Have discovered another quirk in the system. Since being in Bali, whenever I post a comment, I get a message it is being held for moderation. I presume the IP adress range I am on over here is in a blacklist somewhere.

However I have discovered that the comments are not held in the moderation queue but just go into the junk comments queue which is very large and fast moving. Within an hour they are normally off the 1st page of the queue and I never go in there as 99.9% of the time they are junk spam comments.

This helps explain why some other people say their comments have not appeared. I think it happens only rarely, but until there is a permanent fix my advice would be that if you ever get a message saying your comment is held for moderation, then e-mail me asap with the time you made the posting and what thread it was in. That way I can recover it from the junk comment queue.
