So far Akismet has blocked over 26,000 spam comments from my blog. It would have been a nightmare having to check for spam everyday. In fact, it would have made keeping this blog open not worth my time. While Akismet is not perfect and I suppose nothing really is, the alternative is far worse. I hope they never get rid of it.

Just look at the E-mail spam blacklists. They are closing because lawsuits threatened their very existence. Surely Akismet will meet the same fate because it does not discriminate. Those requesting removal from Akismet are being met with an E-mail response that states they are clearly not a blacklist for spam. Despite what they say, that is exactly what they are and Akismet is moving onto bigger and better things then blogs. They say one can use Akismet on forums as well.. how idiotic, whose going to use this stupid service :-( Akismet will eventually find itself in court. Just look at the E-mail spam blacklists.

Everyday it says that more spam has been deleted but shows not spams for me to view in the admin area. I sent feedback to Wordpress.com about it and explained it to them. They told me twice that Akismet only automatically deletes spam posted to posts more 30 days old.Since I find it highly unlikely that all of the spam being blocked lately was posted to posts more than 30 days old, I am left to conclude that the people who work for wordpress.com are either liars or morons.

In the past, there have been dozens of items waiting to be deleted but lately there's only been 1 or 2 and sometimes even none. If it's being automatically deleted, I don't like that at all. I was identified as spam for awhile but it only took one email to WordPress/Akismet to get it stopped. They don't use the Akismit filter on the that site for some pretty obvious reasons so I was able to send them a message. I wondered what was up with my spams, too.

My askimet bin regularly has spam sitting in it. If I don't delete it, then after 15 days it does delete it. Having gone through the experience of being recognized as spam by askimet, I know it's frustrating but I still like the service. People get labeled as spam for various reasons. Mine was probably that I posted too many links in a comment and then inadvertently deleted myself when I deleted my spam. So then... since I allowed myself to be deleted as spam, the filter was taught that I was spam. Problem was solved by a friend submitting to the Wordpress team, that my comments were going into her spam bin. They took care of it and un-spammed me. If you know of anyone ending up in your spam bin wrongly, just let the team know about it and they'll fix it for you and them. Hope that helps! Cheerio! Hi again.
