Can’t I at least view spam comments?

If you go to Dashboard > Comments > Akismet Spam you should be able to see your latest spam comments. Sometimes it can take a while for the spam to appear, so give it a few hours. If they don’t show up at all, there’s an ongoing problem with the spam queue that staff are aware of and hopefully will fix soon.

There are two ways. From Dashboard choose Comments>Akismet Spam or, anywhere on your Dashboard pages (stats, etc) where it says Akismet has protected your site from X spam, click on the number and it’ll take you to the queue.

A few points to remember about how Akismet works:
1) If multiple identical spam comments are sent to your blog, the duplicates will not show up in my spam list for me to review.

2) After you have verified that the above spam is indeed spam by deleting it and Akismet has learned, if you again get hit by the same source, your “spams caught” number will increase, but they will not be listed for you to review (since you have already identified them as spam).3) Any comment sent to you blog, that is already known by Akismet to be spam, will be blocked, your “spams caught” number will increase, but again, they will not be listed for you to review (since they have been previously identified as spam by yourself or others).
