  Hello all! My blog is http://pencilscribbles.wordpress.com/ and I am rather new.

  I see that Akismet catches some spam for me, which I appreciate. But it deletes it before I can look at the comment. Once I caught the comment labeled spam before it was deleted and it was from my husband (!) – a false positive.

  How can I configure Akismet or any other setting to keep the potential spam comment until I assess it? Is it possible?

  Thanks,

  Alex

  @pencilscribbles, go to the Settings > Discussion page, look for Comment Moderation, check the option that says “Don’t discard spam on old posts.”
