Comments not being qued for approval

I apologize if this topic is redundant, but I’ve searched the forum (and Google) and can’t find anything more recent than a couple years ago.

Anyway my comments were working fine up until some point when it was brought to my attention that people were leaving comments but not seeing them approved. When I check my log the last comment was left on 1.26.14.

I am using WordPress 3.8.3 running Scherzo theme. I activated Jetpack plugin recently but deactivated after learning others had the same problem. But no change.

Thanks

The following is from my comments.php file:

<?php

// Do not delete these lines
	if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

	if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
		<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
	<?php
		return;
	}
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

	<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

		<h2 class="comment-heading">Comments</h2>

		<ol class="commentlist">

			<?php wp_list_comments('avatar_size=24&type=comment'); ?>

		<ol class="pinglist">

			<?php wp_list_comments('avatar_size=24&type=pings'); ?>

	 <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

		<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

			<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->

		 <?php else : // comments are closed ?>

			<!-- If comments are closed. -->

			<p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>

		<?php endif; ?> <!-- if comments are open -->

	<?php endif; ?> <!-- end if have comments -->

	<?php comment_form(); ?>
