Akismet Sucks
Looks like I am a spammer. Damn it, I hate you Akismet.
Sigh, I thought Akismet is a good anti-spam plugin. Even Edrei recommends it. I’ve been writing comments at my own blog, and it identifies me a SPAM!!! Not once, but TWICE!! This is insane!! Is it like the blog author spam his own blog? That sucks, totally.
Looks like I will be using the combination of Bad Behavior and Hash-Cash for now.

Did you hit the “Not Spam” button?

Yes, I did. That is how I recovered the comments I’ve posted in my own blog. Akismet caught my comment as spam twice. Is it because Akismet failed to report false positive when I clicked “Not Spam” button?

Hahaha…funny ass. That’s something to report though. But I’ve had no prblems with Akismet…neither has a lot of people and even you can comment on my blog properly too. That’s odd.

I havenâ??t had any false positives with Akismet, and Iâ??ve been using it since it was released. The major problem Iâ??ve noticed is a lag in the sending of the email notifiying me of the comments posted.
Also noticed it sometimes mark genuine comments spam and the Spam comments sometimes pass through their filters very easily, really funny and akismet sucks
Praise you blogger for getting this word out. Google should place you Number 1 for this!!

Errr.. it also made me into a mind why people were not commenting on my blog and that I’ve found out the Akismet is the reason behind this. Comments were not appearing after submitting it.

Funny thing about the other post that said Akismet sucks is that they’re still using it. Quite ironic really. That got me really annoyed also when I couldn’t post on my own blog, but that was just for testing. I could comment on my blog as much as I want as the admin. It’s a real WordPress killer with this plugin. Makes myself not want to post on other people’s blog who uses Akismet.
