When I post something, almost immediately I receive a comment pending moderation. It says something like:

“[name of the post I just made] « Obscure Gems [link to the post]
[string of numbers.numbers.numbers]
Submitted on 2012/09/21 at 9:46 pm [a time I wasn’t online. In fact, that hasn’t even happened yet in my timezone]
[...] touching, war |Leave a comment » I have some history with this book. (Like how I thought Maximum Ride was about a boy on a roller coaster for no apparent reason until I actually picked it up.) When I [...]”

Everything between “[…]” and “[…]” is a snippet, a cutting, apparently completely random, of the post I’d just made. It starts in the middle of the tags! That doesn’t even make sense (unless it’s coded in a way I really don’t understand, but I don’t really want to figure that out now). It’s possible that this only happens to posts I’ve saved as drafts. But not necessarily.

I just have the standard, free option. I haven’t paid any money and as far as I can tell have nothing fancy aside from the theme and the background. It’s possible the theme is relevant, but again, I don’t think so.

Has anybody seen this before? Can you help me? :)
