Hi there,
What notice on your dashboard? What exactly does it say and what is the link showing in your browser on the page where you see it?
-
Its the:
“Warning: We noticed you have un-spammed many spam comments. The spam comments you have approved may include….Once you have done this (or if you think we’ve made a mistake) you can contact WordPress.com support to have this notice removed.”
Directly on the dashboard.
-
The vast majority of approved comments on your site is spam. All the comments from “google”, all the comments where the username is a domain, all the SEO comments, all the Japanese comments, the whole lot of those are spam. That is why they were in your spam filter. Those are not real comments from real people.
We cannot remove the warning from your dashboard while those comments linking to those sites remain approved.

Yes, that’s what I’ve been wondering the whole. There are no comments that are real, all are spam comments.
What are the chances that the “Website” field can get removed from the comment section?
-
You can edit the comments and remove the link. That won’t change the fact that your site is full of spam comments, though, so it won’t remove the warning from your dashboard. Why would you want your site to be filled with spam?
Mark those comments as spam, so they don’t appear on your site any more, and we can remove the warning message.

There are a few real comments in there, so don’t delete everything. But everything you had un-spammed can be spammed/deleted again. Once you’ve done that, let me know.

Here are some resources that you will want to read to educate yourself to recognize those spam comments:
