I have had 2 comments from some of my most faithful readers slammed into the spam folder today. This, to my knowledge has never happened before, because I usually skim the entries and it does a good job.
This would not have caught my attention were it not for another blogger having such a problem this week. Are they getting through to other blogs okay?
Joe from Working at Home on the Internet has been having this problem for a few days and is making his case abundantly clear on his blog:
Is anyone else getting stuck in my spam and never seeing their comments? Shoot me an e-mail if you are the next victim of an Akismet trend.
Oddly enough, tonight I had a comment that appeared to be a valid comment, but linked back to what appeared to be a gold selling site. Akismet caught this, and I’m not sure if it should have, even though it was good that it did.
Other than that, I have only had one false positive with it, but unfortunately, I don’t have many commentors yet. So it’s hard to tell if it is working properly.
Hey Gitr,
For some reason my comments are getting through now, after more than a week and many Emails to kismt and 2 posts about the problem and constant un-spamming comments.
I don’t know if they read the EM’s or the Posts or what, but They Fixed My problem.
It may be the algo they’re using because I have run into more than a few Bloggers having the same problem.
Hope they fix whatever it is soon. ๐
Joe
