It looks like the account Beaumar is still pending in the audition phase. Your comments will not appear immediately until a moderator has approved the account to comment without review. I would recommend continuing to comment to give them more comments to review. Moderators like to have several comments to look at.

Inappropriate?Hi Michael,
I still can't post comments, my comment appears with red lines after i've typed it but dissappears after that. Can you fix this for me?
thanks
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?The account Frizzaldo is enabled to comment. Is that the account you're logged into? What you're describing sounds like an account that is still auditioning for commenting privileges, but the Frizzaldo account already has those privileges assigned.
-
Inappropriate?Got the same problem as lots of others. Tried commenting a number of times anonymously but they were never posted (and they were high-larious, too, so it's kind of a tragedy to mankind). Went ahead and registered an account (Beaumar) so I could finally get through. Still no go. Frustrating to see so many fun and interesting articles and not be able to weigh in...

Gawker Media Comments -
Inappropriate?I've been a commenter on Kotaku for a while now so I'm long familiar with the comment auditioning process, but can't you just trust that some of us aren't trolls here to ruin the webosphere? No? Yeah, I wouldn't either :)
But if you're bored, feel free to approve Prunetracy.
I love you guys
I’m a little sleepy
-
It looks like the first comments were made today so the account has yet to be reviewed by a moderator. It may take some time before that occurs. -
so... how about now? two and a half weeks long enough? -
Inappropriate?Can I join the queue. My name on Gizmodo is
London-rhino.
I've tried email the staff not had a reply and still can get comment. Its a brilliant site with gadgets that have to be commented on.
Hellllllp..... please. -
Inappropriate?Your account is still in the audition phase. Continue to make comments and a moderator will review your account at some point in order to approve or decline it.
-
Inappropriate?This is a strange way to run a website , but who am I to complain.
OK, I'll keep trying even though my comments disappear from view when I hit the OK button.
I take it they're still recorded at the other end when I press the ok button??? -
Inappropriate?Yes, they are still viewable by the moderators and may still appear on the site once approved.
-
Inappropriate?I used to think it was strange, too. But it's MUCH better than having dozens of "first" postings, and immature trolls.
How about now? -
Inappropriate?Nope. No change, it's a shame because it's a really good site. But now you've mentioned it , yes , you're right, best not to have lots of trolls making first post silly comments, it just spoils it for the rest of us.
-
Inappropriate?I've not been able to comment either. Can you make it so Michael? My usernaem on the Giz is Pyrotechnics. Donka in advance!
-
Inappropriate?Sill no change and I do keep trying.
-
Inappropriate?My account on gizmodo seems to have passsed the aproval process since it no longuer says on my profile that I need to pass an audition.
However, my coments still do no apear. I only seem to be able to succesfully comment on lifehacker. Keep in mind that I am aproved on both sites.
Is there something that can be done? My username is SoullessArkangel. -
Inappropriate?Mines working now. I'd say it takes about 3 weeks of posting before they let you in properly. Be patient ( I know it's annoying ) people, it will happen.
-
Inappropriate?Hay Michael I have a Gizmodo account and when ever I post a reply
It comes up in a red box and is never posted wen I come back to the page, help me please!

Inappropriate?In addition to not being able to post comments (or even log in), I can't check out pictures in galleries on the site.
I’m miffed.
-
Inappropriate?same problem for me, no comment posting ability. "shadedecho" is the username. Grr.
I’m pissed
-
Looks like you only made one comment a long time ago, so the account wasn't approved. I've enabled the account to audition again. -
Inappropriate?I don't want to sing the same song, I just want to carry a tune. *sigh* Lazarou is my username. And I can't comment on Jezebel, Gizmdo, or Gawker...only Fleshbot. Am I only good enough for Fleshbot?!
I’m no so thrilled
-
Inappropriate?Auditioning is fine... but my comment was just trying to give proper credit to the artist who designed a background that was photo'd on lifehacker. The existing comments are claiming it's from deviant art, and it isn't... username is jeremy_tulsa I think
I’m sad
-
Inappropriate?Please add EpiphyteCorp. please oh please oh please (pathetic... I know)
I’m so ronery
-
Inappropriate?Hi there - I too have the same issue. Account name dsunbury. I've posted several times but nothing appear. Could my account be activated?
I’m hopeful
-
You've only made 2 comments that I can see. I'd recommend making more. -
Inappropriate?I'd like to comment too. I don't even see an option to. Just says commenting is not enabled for my account (sadohert on lifehacker). I wanted to share some of the lists ideas that I use.
I’m confused
-
The account sadohert is in the audition phase, but I don't see any comments having been made. When logged into the account, you should see a comment box at the bottom of each article where you can comment. -
I can comment now. There was no comment box when I first created my account, but it was there as of this morning. -
Inappropriate?Im having the same porblem too. Im approved but i cant comment and gizmodo is what i spend 90% of work day looking at "when im not working."
I’m so very very sad
-
What is your username? -
IfIaintdrunknow/earv is my screen and earv19 is my login -
Inappropriate?IfIaintdrunknow/earv is my screen and earv19 is my login plz help Michael

Inappropriate?Can you please activate my account too (aviarun)? I wanna start commenting on Gizmodo.

-
Inappropriate?I just signed up and I'm not an authorized commenter yet. No biggie, but I'm slightly worried - if everybody has this problem and the official reps. will have to keep on giving green lights here it would be quite a big problem. |:
I’m slightly worried.
-
Inappropriate?I don't have the "you're still auditioning to be a commenter" message in my profile, but my comments are still highlighted red and not publicly visible, as far as I can tell. Am I out of the audition phase yet? (username: BornInChinese)
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?I've been reading Gizmodo for years and made an account a couple months ago, can you activate mine? hjustin93
I’m sad
-
Inappropriate?red lines here as well... whats weird is some days it lets me post outright... others it just keeps them all in red lines... dagfar is the username.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Well while we're talking on this, and since Michael is at least periodically checking this - when I comment on giz (where I'm an approved commenter) it just keeps prompting me to login.
Can you please fix?
Thanks!
I’m p.oed
