 * When I use Broken Link Checker to “Edit URL” on a specific page, I will then 
   get some new comments on that page under my Comment Moderation panel. The “Author”
   is the name of one of my posts, and the comment itself is an excerpt from my 
   post. This is super weird. I keep just trashing the comments. Does anyone know
   why this is happening?
 * It only happens after I use Broken Link Checker to edit a URL.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-is-posting-comments%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Nevermind I figured it out. I had never heard of a “self-ping” before and never
   had it happen until I downloaded this plugin. I’ve now installed yet another 
   plugin, the “No Self Pings” one which will hopefully counteract it.
