  Hi everybody,

  I’m new to wordpress and hadn’t had akismet catch any spam before, but now all of a sudden it says it has stopped 4 spam messages. I can’t find them. It says my que is empty. One of my comments to another blogger was spammed the same day, but he was able to restore it. Why can’t I see the comments akismet blocked? What am I doing wrong or not seeing?

  Thanks,
  Cindy

  They are probably on older posts and discarded automatically. Or maybe they take some time to show up in the queue for no apparent reason. Such behavior has been reported.

  If you want to inspect all spam for sure before sending it to hell, change your setting here: http://cindyinsd.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php
