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 ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง. Well, not exactly, theyโre still there, but it turns out theyโre 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 Huntโs spam-detection system is flagging accounts more aggressively, especially those with consistent commenting styles. ๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ปโespecially with the rise of AI-generated commentsโitโs a bit frustrating when genuine, long-term members get caught in the mix ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐

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. Itโs 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?
Letโs discuss and see if we can come up with some constructive ideas to make things better! ๐ฌ
Youโre not alone if this has happened to you, and I believe together we can make a positive change. (:

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 Thanks Rajiv! I appreciate the quick fix and the clear update. Just wondering, could there be a way to notify users if this happens again? It might help avoid any confusion.

@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.
