I encountered a problem a week or so ago with CommentLuv.

Whenever I’d go to comment on another site, CommentLuv would say there’s a feed error, and it wouldn’t let display my last blog post in the comment.

I thought it would go away just by fixing the feed, but it didn’t. Here’s how I finally fixed it.

CommentLuv Feed Errors

It seems that whenever you have three problems with your feed, CommentLuv bans you:
commentluv-error

Supposedly, this is based on your IP address and website address combination. CommentLuv then wants you to visit their site to unban yourself, but you can’t do that without being a member. I think this is a kind of a way to get people to sign up. Otherwise, CommentLuv could just:

  • unban you automatically when you try to comment after your feed is fixed.
  • unban you when you visit the unban URL.

If they allow you to use CommentLuv without signing up, there’s no reason you should have to sign up to unban your feed. They say “This is done because constant requests to a faulty or non-existant feed will freeze up the server.” But why would CommentLuv make constant requests to a faulty feed? It only contacts the feed when you go to comment on someone’s website.

Anyway, after you do sign up, you need to visit http://comluv.com/member/unban-url/ to remove the ban.

Removing the CommentLuv ban

At the Unban page, CommentLuv asks you to enter the URL of the site that has the bad feed:
commentluv-unban

After you fix your feed, enter the URL and click Submit, CommentLuv verifies the RSS feed and unbans you:
commentluv-unban-2

Ensuring your feed has been fixed

You should make sure your feed has been fixed before you try to unban it.
You can check if your blog is working with ismyblogworking.com.

Another way is to enter the feed URL in Firefox. It’ll parse and display the feed if it’s OK. It it’s not, it’ll give you an XML error.

  4. The whole ban and then unban thing does seem to be a way to get more people to join and thus subscribe to their mailing list. This definitely means revenue for them. I would think that it takes just as much cpu power to process a broken rss feed as a correct one. I could be wrong of course.
