Where are the spam comments?
-
On the dashboard, I read that Akismet has protected my blog from 61 spam comments. However, my spam folder is empty. Where are the spam comments, so that I can check whether there are some false positives among them?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Here known spam is automatically deleted.
Only spam that wordpress.com isn’t sure about is listed.
-
Spam on new posts remains in your spam folder for two weeks. Spam on older posts is deleted immediately unless you go to Settings>Discussion and tick the option “Don’t discard spam on old posts”.
-
Most spam is listed, including plenty that we’re sure about.
Spam from the biggest spam factories – the ones that hit WordPress.com with millions of comments – are blocked outright. That’s why your spam counter will sometimes go up unexpectedly.

Yeah its pretty useful. I turned it off once and got inundated with spam in just a 24 hour period.
