I never post links in my comments and if I do they are links to other sites other than my own. I try not to say just say “Thanks!” or “Great post!” and definitely make sure my comments are on topic.

Well… I sometimes don't see the message that my mail is under moderation, but the comment I posted always appears when I come back to the blog.

Hey man great info indeed. one of my friend also disappoint by the Akismet. Because they block his website and he was not able to post comments on various blogs. This will surely helpful for me and others who have caught by Akismet .

I have never used aksimet but after reading your post don’t really want to now lol. I don’t get too much spam comment on my blog so never had the need to get an anti spam plugin. I guess when I start getting a lot of comments like your blog I will try out Defensio.

Jenny, I found your comment held up in the Akismet spam folder. It does seem you’ve been marked. Maybe try posting a comment “without” a URL attached – and see what happens then.

I did a test comment on one of my own personal blogs so I know my url is getting caught with askimet. When contacted they say that my comments should go through since I am not in the database. Yet they are still getting stuck.
They are no help beyond this, any ideas on what is catching me up when askimet is the only filter on the test site.

I agree with Guy. As long as you stay sincere, chances of being caught in an Akismet borderline-incident are minimal. Nevertheless, its good to know a way out.

Luckily, I do follow these three points while commenting on blogs may be that’s why still i did not face the “Akismet plug-in” but one of my friends did caught by Akismet and now he is facing comment disappearing problems from blog. I just sent him this post too. I hope he finds it helpful just the way i feel it.

I don’t worrly about getting caught leaving comments. If you leave real comments then you won’t be marked as a spammer.

I don’t do any automated commenting.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer here! I was trying to find an answer about why I can’t comment on WordPress blogs. I tried clearing my cookies and cache folders too. Apparently, someone out there does not like me at all!

Glad you found something that is working for you – I used to use WP-Spam Free but found it would delete alot of the good comments. Akismet also seems to junk some good comments. Sticking to manual comment moderating for now.

What I usually do is check my spam lists for any real comments, and always I find, one or two that were caught as a spammer by Akismet. Thanks for your tips on how to avoid being caught.

@ benjamin I guess it is because the blog owner checks spam folder for good comments. If your comment disappears after hitting submit button without notice, its definitely Akismet or some other anti spam solution.

I agree. The link that is attached to a posted name is sufficient.

Hi SmartBoyDesigns,

what I do is not to put links in my wordpress comments because there is a big chance that it will be caught by Akismet.

Cheers,
Meg
