  In the last 36 hours, Askimet has let 34 spam comments slip through. This is highly unusual for my blog. Is this happening to anyone else?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thank you, timethief, I did do that, but only one post was recent and I followed your advice to that person, which didn’t work for me.

  I just determined that all of the spam getting through to my blog shows different names, but similar posters “IDs” (they refer to Facebook security check pages) so I’ve now set up a block in discussion settings. Hopefully that will work.
