My Miscellany: Damn Spam!
I just want you all to know that my comments on your posts appear to be going into your spam folders! Please take me out of spam, this is a WP issue that I am trying to resolve.
I read over 30 blogs yesterday and someone told me my comment ended up in their spam folder!
I’ve contacted SO to try to resolve the issue. I read two today and the same thing happened. So please check your spam today.

Gosh I didn’t even know about the spam folder – I will take a look. thanks for letting us all know
Hey, I forgot what your first name is! I’d like to remember it from now on. Can I have it?
Of course – it’s Kate 🙂
I commented on your about page about something important. Please read it, Kate 🙂
I see it ended up in your spam section of comments again, grrrr.
I don’t understand what is going on with the comments, wordpress is giving me all sorts of grief today. I need to get onto a computer & see if I can get it sorted 🙁
All of my comments have been going into everyone’s spam folder. It’s aggravating and killing my traffic!!
That’s so strange! I’m using the app at the moment so I can’t even see an option for anything that I can fix. Don’t worry, we will get it sorted
Just go to your comments section and you have to select drop down menu to see spam comments. It’s a little arrow just below the word comments.
I think I fixed it! 🙂
I found and addressed it I hope. Not sure why it flagged you as spam other than instead of a WordPress account it showed you as an email. Odd.
It’s been happening with all my comments😠
🙁 Weird as hell.
Good morning Rob! I just pulled your comments out. This happens to me periodically for no apparent reason. I have to do the same thing: make an announcement. Fortunately when enough people unspam you it seems to fit it…
what a pain in the ass
I know! I had all sorts of trouble in September with it. Whenever they makes ‘improvements’ a whole host of other issues crop up!
This just started happening. I put links in the post, so everyone should be personally notified. Will you let me know if you are notified of my post since I put a link to you in it? It’s supposed to work that whenever a link to someones blog appears, that blogger is notified. Thanks.
Hmmm, no I wasn’t notified. 🙁
grrr. I thought when you put a link to someone’s blog in a post, that person is notified. I’m so fucking aggravated with this blog shit this morning.
It will get sorted. It’s not just you, I found comments from 2 of my other followers in spam also. In the meantime, keep commenting! And don’t let it ruin your morning, sweetie! xx
[ Smiles ] Hmm. Tell you friends to mark it as, “Not Spam.”
The issue appears to be with Akismet; it could simply be a case of what is known as, “A false positive.”
Comments that are generic in nature and have links in them are directed to the Spam area.
Did you ever add a link to a person’s comment thread in the past?
No, I generally do not post links in my comments. I have notified WP on the issue, thank you for your thoughts on this.
[ Smiles ] You are welcome, Rob.
In the past, WordPress told their users to take the problem directly to Akismet (Ironically, it is owned by Automattic; the same company that owns WordPress).
I do hope that your problem is rectified in a timely manner.
Yeah me too. I don’t want the 40+ people I follow to think I don’t care
[ Sighs ] Unfortunately, you will have to just sit and wait until things are sorted out.
Do you remember me when I used to blog a log about new age stuff a few years back? I remember you
[ Chuckles ] Yes, Rob.
I used to blog on WordPress back then.
Today, I blog solely on Blogger!
I see
Yeah !
Did you receive notification that I mentioned you in a post? Just checking to see if link worked
No.
Dammit! I thought when you put @ in front of the name everyone was notified of a mention.
Nothing
That happens on twitter
You can do it on WP too believe it or not, just not sure how.
You have to put in our respective links
