Twice now I've tried to comment on some oneshots that had no comments, thinking I'd be helpful for someone who might want to read them, and both times they've been removed. I've seen comments on other oneshots, some a lot shorter than my own comment, so I don't understand what I've been doing wrong.

You are free to commet on any series and the rules are same whether the comment is first or last. The sentence should have enough length to form any sensible meaning and also no excessive use of foul language. If you post a spoiler, staff usually put them in spoiler tag.

Like most of Nishida's works this is light on action but the story is pretty solid." I'm not sure of my exact words but that was the gist. The other comment was a while ago, but I do remember saying that it wasn't full of action. Most of my comments are substantive and I don't swear or spoil in them, so I thought maybe since I was new or something that I missed some rules.

Short is defined by 2 or less lines of text in the admin section for series comments ________________ A just ruler amongst tyrants lambchopsil--- MangaUpdates admin Join the MangaUpdates Folding@Home team!
