  A few of us are having this issue. We cannot comment on other blogs but we can respond to comments on our own. I cannot comment on other blogs and it has been down since last night. Can someone please advise?

  -OM

  http://www.aopinionatedman.com is my blog website, but I can comment there and on support. I cannot respond on blogs, I tried leaving timethief a message on her blog and it disappeared as well.

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

  The title should actually be “comments being blocked???”

  Oh oh! It sounds like your comments are being caught up in the spam filter. Tagged for Staff.

  Thank you timethief. One of my followers said my comment was stuck in an “idle state” which I have no idea what means. They are not saying my comments are going to spam though, have I been labeled a spammer? I don’t comment enough to be a spammer lol. :)

  Your comments are indeed being caught in spam. Please contact Akismet as raincoaster suggested.

  Thank you, any clue as to why? I don’t spam people’s sites.

  Sometimes people get caught by accident, but it’s not information I have access to, so I really can’t offer any specifics. Instead, that’s something to ask the Akismet team about.

  It is really a sad state of affairs that my fellow blogger with so much following got added to the spam list. It will be great if this can be resolved sooner not only because we miss his comments ;) but also because of the unpredictability of such things.
