Are my comments winding up in Akismet spam?
-
I am wondering whether alot of comments on my challenge post are winding up as spam as I have few responses and alot (15) of akismet spam for the last week. Is it possible (for me) to check the spam that winds up in Akismet?
Thanks in advance….
NB – I have already checked discussion settings , comment spam, manage comments, my email, etc….

Yes, you can view the spam comments at Comments -> Spam in your blog’s Dashboard.
At this time, there are two there. One is definitely spam, the other may not be.

I have seen the two that are in this section – what are the 15 that Askimet “caught” and where can they be seen?
-
Do you mean “Akismet has protected your site from 45 spam comments already.”
That’s an all-time total. The spam queue is cleared every 15 days for your convenience. We also do not display duplicates or comments that were marked as spam by a large majority of users.

No. According to the Akismet site stats, for the month of October only, this morning there were 15 (this evening 16) spam. What I would like to know is if there is a way of viewing what this spam is. Considering that there were 13 false positives and an 85.26% accuracy rate over the course of the last three months, I am curious whether some of the responses that people are trying to post for one of my challenges are winding up there (in Akismet) as spam instead of awaiting moderation and approval in my comments window.

No, there is not. In this case, the other 13 were either duplicates of the two in the spam queue, or comments marked as spam by the majority of WordPress.com users.
