http://www.politicollision.com/story.php?title=akismet-deletes-comments-and-urls-bloggers-never-see URGENT: Please DO NOT leave comments in unrelated blog posts in this and especially in OTHER blogs about the Akismet issue. Leaving comments in the blogs of those who have commented that they flag non-spam as spam solves nothing and brings you down to their level. If you wish to respond to them please do it IN THIS POST or on your own blog. If you identify yourself in your comments it reflects badly on you and there is a very real possibility that they will flag you as a spammer! Leaving comments in their blogs using fake information is a waste of your time. It will only make them feel they are correct in what they are doing and they will simply delete the posts. If they do not understand now nothing more we can say or do is likely to make any difference at all. NEW: I have created two test pages anyone can use to test their names and URLs. See Akismet Test Pages. UPDATE: June 7 Akismet has removed the ability to use the test page mentioned in this post to determine if your comments are being sent to either SPAM or being deleted outright by Akismet. MESSAGE TO AKISMET: How does removing our ability to find out if our names or URLs are blocked by your plugin improve this situation? That makes this worse – not better – and makes you look guilty. You should be willing to TELL US that your plugin does indeed delete comments. If that is how you believe it SHOULD work honesty is the best policy. If you love commenting in blogs you are in for a shock. Did you know that Akismet is censoring comments? Yes, there are still plenty of really spammy comments showing up in our spam folder so it LOOKS like we get to moderate them.
