  A blogger who is my friend is getting all his comments sent spam automatically. How can I stop this?

  He can simply mark the comments as ‘approved’ by clicking on the ‘approve’ link below the comment. This way the system will learn that a comment is spam or not.

  The bloggers from the following URLs are people I have had a great relationship with online but now their comments on my blog are being sent to spam.

  http://gedlab.com/,
  http://pjisblogging.wordpress.com/
  http://kenyanphil.wordpress.com/
  http://aguywithoutboxers.wordpress.com/

  There may have been older comments by other bloggers, but, if so, they have been deleted. I have taken their comments out of the spam folder and approved them, but they still cannot comment. They can comment on other blogs. I can comment on their blogs. How can I solve this problem?

  I don’t think a screenshot will help now, because the comments have been approved.

  Still not solved. I”ve been using firefox. New wordpress members’ comments are also sent to spam. Why?

  It seems that the majority of that list had only 1 spammed comments, which means that our system still has to learn that it isn’t spam. I did mark the last blog of the list as ‘non-spam’.

  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

  I appreciate your efforts in trying to solve this, but it’s getting worse. Now my own comments are going into spam. Please let me know what to do.
