   I’ve had to fish your comments out of my spam file a few times now. Wasn’t sure what’s going on or why it’s been happening. Hope WP can get it fixed!

     I’ve emailed Akismet who run the spam bin to let them know this is happening – sadly it is not the first time. It is so annoying!

     I comment a lot and used to do commenting challenges where I would try to visit every blog participating in NaBloPoMo – while I found a lot of truly awesome blogs via that challenge, sometimes people would put me in the spam bin when I did not deserve to be there. Spam is for actual spam, like people trying to sell things. ;)

     Luckily this is a problem that can be solved fairly easily especially when Akismet look at my comments, it is easy to see they are not spam, but it might take a while and there are people who never check their spam bins so those comments might be lost for good. :/

     Thanks for confirming this, at least now I know what is going on. :)

   Funny you should say that – yes spammed you have been!

   Thanks for checking Cathy, I will try to fix this ASAP. ;)

   Funny because when I check my spam bin, I see some pretty regular spam and then sometimes very weird stuff. There is something so bizarre in there right now, it deserves a Friday post of its own! :)

   I get a few comments landing in my spam folder from various people, I just click the check box, click ‘not spam’ and it pops back into the comments folder, but I don’t think they then suddenly appear on the blog. I check once a week or so to delete the true spam.
