Wading Through Spam Comment

September 15, 2007 – 5:19 pm

A month or so ago, I implemented Akismet Spam filter and I must say it has been a blessing. Many people told me that Akismet is “yesterday” but it has been working fine for me. At least Comment notification emails no longer hit my Inbox. I still check my Spam folder and have fished out perfectly legitimate comment from there and even when I have already “approved” the comment by this particular person, when he comments again, it will once again go to the Spam folder. Somehow, my instructions don’t stick.

I think that it is because these people post a lot of comments on many blogs daily, and even though they are genuine comments, Akismet thinks that they are spam due to the pattern of activity.

I wonder how many people will wade through their Spam folder just to check if there’s any genuine comment, just in case, you know? I know that if I were the commenter and my on-topic comment was not published, I would be pretty pissed off. So I wade through the Spam folder so as not to have any misunderstanding.
