    I’m on my wordpress.com blog and I saw that I have 26 spam comments. I really want to see at least what it says so I can see if it’s spam or not. Is there a way I can actually read all the 26 comments? Thank you.

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

    The spam comments you can’t see fall into one of these:

    – Really obvious spams that we delete right away (we’re VERY sure about these, and we know you don’t want to see them :) )
    – Duplicates of spams that you are seeing in your comment queue

    There is no way of seeing them, but as I said they are unlike other spams you do see in your comment queue.

    @anime1237 – If you REALLY want to see a bunch of Spam I also have a .ORG site that saves the Spam until I delete it – about 100 a day – I can print a pdf file for you if you really want –

    As someone that has been using Akismet for about 2 years now – I will vouch for it doing a great job – it misses one once in a while but not often – the errors I have seen is once in while it lets a spam through.

    Akismet has the advantage of looking at millions of blogs and comparing junk – it does a good job.
