There’s been sporadic reports of reader’s comment logins not working, their accounts being deleted, etc etc. Undoubtedly, this is related to Gawker’s recent backend upgrade magic making everything fitter, better, happier and more productive.

If you or someone you love has lost their login due to Gawker Media’s tomfoolery and fiddle-faddle, email tips@consumerist.com and ask for a new comments invitation.

We’re sorry for the hassle. It’s lame.

Guess this is an opportunity to test out how good our customer service is, yes/no?

UPDATE: If you get a “comment error” while trying to post, try logging out and logging back in, as Fairytale of Los Angeles points out.
