@Adam: I guess he deleted it. The Twitter link just said something like “Should be fixed now” (can’t remember off the top of my head). I’d suggest you try to contact them through this form: http://akismet.com/contact/

I seem to be getting blocked by Akismet. How did you solve your issue (the link to twitter doesn’t work.)

I’m having my comments marked as spam due to my url – I can’t see the tweet reply you got, though. How did you resolve your issue?

@Bilety lotnicze: I’m not quite sure. For me, I think it was my website URL, although like I said in the post, it was quickly resolved. For the record, your comment wasn’t flagged as spam when you submit it here.

Ive the same exact experience – and have no idea why.. Is it due to the website, ip or what? I dont type comments that are not related to the subject nor spam all over. Really makes it hard to participate in many blogs.

My comment still don’t show up on both wordpress and akismet enabled websites. Both of them do not even bothered to reply to my query and was left unresolved. Whenever i include my website url in the url field the post stills shows discarded and the comment would never show up. It’s hampering my blogging experience and i don’t feel like commenting anymore coz i feel am being avoided and i do not get anything in return (not even visibility for my site).
It’s such a shame, all i can post is on just blogspot or typepad. Thank god blogspot doesn’t need cruel akismet for that matter, only comment moderation does the entire work and atleast there’s an assurity that the comment would be published since it doesn’t has anything spammy in it and blogspot is so userfriendly too. I guess wordpress would be missing a lot of users if it continues this way.
Thanks Google for having blogspot

I’ve often worried that I’m deleting non-spam comments in my blog that are marked by AKISMET, but usually it’s pretty clear that they are junk and totally unrelated to anything my blog is about. I check daily but, yes, I guess some people might not check! Funny, I didn’t even think of the danger that my comments might end up as spam. I’m glad that I read your post – now I’ll keep it in mind, too.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation!

You’ll soon not even need that plugin though with 2.7 just around the corner! I can’t wait, and am personally looking forward to it! – Thinking about finally sorting my design out once and for all!

Glad Akismet hasn’t flagged me though, I bet it was a little embarrassing to say the least!

Thanks
Mark

Hey Mark, you weren’t flagged as spam. That’s a bug with the Brian’s Threaded Comments plugin I use here. I just approved both your comments so you won’t be moderated here any more.

Hmm, does that explain why when I just left you a comment for another post it wasn’t even put into moderation? – I suppose we can only test here again, and hope that you do check out the ‘SPAM’ received before you delete it all!

Thanks
Mark
