If this happens to you, please let me know. I can restore them, and have, if they’ve been sent to Spam.
More Shenanigans
Once again Blogger has been moving comments from regulars to the Spam folder. Eric Hines alerted me to the matter, and I found that a number of valued regulars had commented but had them vanish. We seem to have rounds of this irregularly, for reasons that Alphabet leaves opaque but would probably blame on AI if there were any way to ask them.

As I think more about this, the two comments of mine that Google allowed to be posted and then deleted to put them into Spam each had two or more URLs linking to the sources of some of my information.
Cassandra's old blog also had a limit on URLs per comment, but her blog's software both had a higher limit on that number, and it held those comments for review by the blog's host--Cassandra in that case--rather than dumping them directly to spam.
It may be that, aside from the foolishness of posting, then deleting and calling "offending" comments spam, Google also has set the threshold for offensive numbers of URLs too low.

That may be. Unfortunately Blogger is not a major interest for the megacoporation, so there’s no IT support or complaint window. So far they still are allowed to exist, but I expect them to just stop supporting it someday.
When that day comes, I recommend WordPress' blog package and PairNetworks as the hosting site. WordPress' blog package is quite good, or at least it's been entirely satisfactory for the 14-ish years I've been blogging. They also host their blogs, but they have a reputation (deserved or not I don't know) of being as censor-prone as Alphabet.
Pair Networks isn't free, but in addition to hosting blogs, they handle domain registration. And their customer service, on those rare occasions I've needed it, has been truly top drawer. Even if I ask for help that's outside their DOC, if one of their customer service types happens to have personal experience with that sort of problem, that person steps right up.

Thank you for the reminder. I should check about once a week, but it has been stretching to two or three.
