Spam count increases, but no spam comments in the queue

  • Unknown's avatar

    Akismet is supposed to keep the spam for a few days before deleting. But recently I see that the spam count is increasing, but i don’t see any spam in the spam queue.
    Why is this happening? Does akismet delete the spam automatically?

    Staff have also said that sometimes the apparent, reported count is wrong because it is too high. It does not mean you’re missing spams, those were just phantoms that never did exist in the first place.
