Why are my responses in Kinja always grayed-out? Can anyone help a fellow Jalopponaut out?

I think you need to be an approved author or something to have them not be greyed out.

Approved by whom?

Are you talking about Jalopnik?

One of the writers, I think. I'm not entirely sure. Anyone else wanna help me out with this?

Editors. Oppo is our playground, pretty much anyone gets to post here. Jalopnik and other Front Page (FP) blogs make you earn author status with good posts.

I think it happens here and on Jalopnik as well. Maybe it is only other there, though.

Grovel. Then grovel harder. It worked for me.

I've gotten plenty of my responses recommended by the Jalop writers; guess that's not good enough.

You don't seem grey here on Oppo :) As for on the Jalop main page, why not just ask Raph or Travis? I got fed up beeing grey on Jalop Mainpage, so I just asked Travis if he could do something about that, and he did, if that was because I tend to write a lot and answer obscure questions IDK.. but still... worth a shot eh?

So how does one go about getting rights to post on Oppo, if pretty much anyone get it?

It takes more than just a few replies from staff. Just gotta make the right impression on the right staff member at the right time.
Just keep pluckin' that chicken.

Yeah, it's just the Jalop main page. I have asked, but they may not have seen it. Guess I'll have to keep trying...

Wait, you can ask to have your comments display always on the FP? Even if the author doesn't approve it?! Fuck me.

Uhm, not sure really, but ever since I got the "A OK" it seems like my comments show up nonetheless on the FP. Might be wrong here tho'..

There's an algorithm at work on the Jalopnik page (or so they explained to us). I don't know exactly how it works but if you are a regular, and write worthwile comments, it will recognise you at some point and put you in the black.

Guess I need to step up my activity. 6 mos of good comments isn't good enough, it appears.

Torch, your kid is ridiculously cute. I really enjoy your writing and was super-happy when my fellow Jalops and Opponauts helped you find your stolen Beetle.
On a completely unrelated note: would you do a guy a solid and de-gray my comments?

All that flattery should at least get you un-greyed for a bit! Thanks!

Ha! Thanks, man. Keep up the good work.

I am completely and utterly disgusted by this!
But hey, if it works.

The algorithm could not be programmed to identify my wit or detect my wry humor.
