Sandy, Stephanie should not have put out the info about the flagging because it can become an administrative nightmare if people start flagging everything. Sometimes, comments just don't take because of a technical glitch. I've seen this happen several times. Othertimes, for some reason, they get marked as spam. In your case, they were flagged, probably by someone who got some friends who also flagged. However, when we get complaints about this, we also have the ability to see what happened and restore the comments to the site. When the comments aren't visible to us, then we have to assume it was a technical glitch. The reason I removed your last comment is we just don't want game playing with people trying to keep flagging article to see how long it takes them removed. Please feel free to repost the rest of the info. BTW, I remember you from when I used to work for Gateway Newspapers (The Progress). Zandy Dudiak, associate regional editor, Western PA Patch

Sandy,
I have restored your comments. If it happens again, let us know.
