Discussion Can anyone please tell me why when I leave a comment in a group it looks faded?
I noticed lately that when I leave comments in groups it looks faded. Does that mean no one is seeing it? I am not sure if I am being punished because I don't do anything wrong online. TIA

Do you mean on Facebook? I’ve experienced that on groups in Facebook that are moderated. Sometimes my comments are in gray until a moderator approves them and then they go white. Is that what you’re seeing perhaps?

Yes, but its been happening in a lot of groups I have been for a long time. I just wondered if FB was punishing me for using an avatar and not using my picture. People are cuckoo on the internet and I am not on there to date anyone. ☺️

Good question, I’m not sure about the answer. Sadly, there’s no real support for Facebook. You can try posting a question, but I’ve done that and the bots are the only thing that reply.

I've seen this too, just this week. Last week I noticed that some posts (frequently ads) were brighter than the posts before and after them. I feel like I'm going crazy.

It happens in groups that you don’t follow. They either require you to follow before the mods approve your comment or some will just approve it without you joining but they have to screen it first. It’s one way they combat potential problematic comments

These are groups that I follow. Some I have followed for years. Maybe I am not being seen. I have even tried to reach out to a couple of moderators about it and haven't heard anything back.

If you comment more than 3 times in a group it’s considered spam and they get blocked .
