Why my comment go into spam aksimet
-
Any idea how many of these I have to post and unmark before the stupid thing learns? Are all my comments sitting in other users spam queues counting against me?
-
Fifty. Fifty comments posted by me. Fifty comments marked spam by Akismet. Fifty comments marked not spam by me. And still it does not learn.
Can someone, anyone, just tell me the address Akismet wants me to send my blood to? That’s what they want, right? blood?

drmathochist, please re-read the thread you posted in. All of the information you require is in it; if you want to vent, that’s what you have a blog for.
Teaching Aksimet that you’re not spam takes time, processing time. Nobody here knows exactly how long it takes, but it does definitely take more than the two hours you’ve given it. Sending anything anywhere will not expedite the process, but if it makes you feel better you could send me gin. It won’t speed anything up, but it won’t hurt either.
These answers aren’t going to change, no matter how loudly the clock ticks or how many comments you post in this thread. They are just as they were several days ago, when they were posted for the first time in this thread.

The way to get off the spam list, as suggested above, is to repeatedly comment on your own blog and un-spam yourself repeatedly.
Um, rain. That would make it worse, a lot worse. You just told the poster to spam their own blog. Making multiple posts over and over again quickly with no or little content is exactly what most spammers do. That’s probably why Akismet caught them in the first place.
Best bet would be to send in a feedback to staff, explaining specificially what is occuring and give them links to the threads on your blog where you’ve done the damage and politely ask for intervention. Please also include a link to this thread to show why you did so.
Please do specifically that and include the details.
Folks, please stop telling people that a few links equals spam. That’s not true. The setting says moderation queue.
I’m almost positive they’re getting sucked into Akismet.
No, you don’t know that. Making guesses just makes things worse. You’re wearing a hood in your avatar. Please use it. Those blogs could also have their comments set to moderation.
Your ISP is fairly blackhat. That probably has something to do with it. Do a search for it here in the forums to see all of the threads on the issues users have had to deal with.
It’s common
No, it’s not. If it was, we’d have hundreds of threads on the topic and we don’t. We have a couple handful and, from looking at their IP addresses, that’s usually the cause. Please stop telling folks that as well. You told somethat last week to someone from an IP address in the middle of Russia that I have in my router’s blacklist for continued abuse.

I have no other comment to make other than I think Askimet is the saviour of blogging. Without it I’m not sure how we could all cope! It’s marvelous. I remember when I first started I was all hot and bothered because a comment went into the spam folder and I wondered why Askimet had to decide what was spam for me. Now, with thousands of pieces of spam a week I get it. :) Sorry for the ramble, delete it if you like but my thanks go out to the spam warriors!!!! Thank you.

Yes, Dr. Mike, I do keep saying that it’s common. Because it comes up all the time. As you say, there were some people just last week with this issue as well, and it happens to me every two or three months as well. Perhaps we have a difference of perspective, but I keep running across people saying their comments are vanishing into Akismet; if something surfaces in the forum at least once a week you can be sure it’s happening to others who aren’t posting here. To me, this makes it common.

I’ll join atheistperspective when it comes to singing the praises of Akismet.
It’s faithfully catching hundreds of spams directed at my blogs everyday.
And, over the course of the past year, I’ve only noted 8 false positives.Live Spam Zeitgeist http://akismet.com/stats/
1,688,736,350 spams caught so far
18,287,265 so far today
95% of all comments are spamI don’t understand why these folks keep dragging this thread out and adding to it yet again. Bloggers with Akismet issues are wasting their time posting to the forum. Send complete information in like Mark says.
