  There’s no risk from approving spam comments, but I wouldn’t make a habit out of it. These are just folks leaving barely relevant comments (though usually not even that) for nothing more than driving traffic to their own sites.

  Spam comments will be deleted automatically on a regular schedule, so you won’t need to worry about that.

  Thanks macmanx! I did approve few spam comments but was wondering why they were marked as spam.

  The system is a learning system based on current spam trends, but it can make a few mistakes.
