In additions to the troubleshooting steps you have already tried, also try:
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them and force them inactive).
Hmmm, it seems that it is Jetpack which is causing the problem. I disabled the plugins, and then started them up again, and when Jetpack was re activated, comments stopped working. Mind you I only use Jetpack and Akismet, so I don’t really run too many plugins.
Is this true in twentythirteen theme?
If it’s specific to your theme, you should post on the theme’s forum:

I tried it in the 2013 theme, and still had issues. I have disabled the Jetpack Comments module inside Jetpack and it is working fine now. I posted on Jetpack’s support page.

On my wordpress blog, roadwolf.ca I have been trying to troubleshoot the comments over the last few days to no avail. A search on this issue revealed nothing similar from what I could see.
The old comments show, and it allows you to type in and submit a new comment, and seems to process it when submitted, however it just returns to the blog page / post after submission, and shows no changes or no new comments. Akismet doesn’t show any blocked comments, and it happens with that plugin disabled anyhow.
I tried changing the theme back to default, I tried deactivating plugins and JetPack options, as well as widgets. And I scrutinized the settings regarding comments and discussion, and everything is set as I Would like it to be. I recently moved my whole blog from the /blog/ folder of my domain to the root, and that went smoothly, other then the comments possibly being messed up because of it. Looking for any hints of what to look at next. 🙂 Thanks.
