Akismet treats my own comment as a Spam

2 May 2008 14 Comments

I have faced many problems with Akismet before but none so weird as this. Yesterday, my own comment which i left on my own blog was treated as a spam by Akismet. Don’t believe it, have a look at the image below.

Spam

The comment doesn’t even contain a single hyper link. So why the hell is it being treated as a spam. Have any of you faced this problem before? Any suggestions?

      I know how you would be feeling. But all I thought after reading the headline was “LOL what a weird problem”.

      Hope Akismet doesn’t make the same mistake.

      Yeah its kinda wierd, couple of months ago, akismet was acting wierd for me too. I guess I made a complaint and then after couple of weeks it was ok.

      That’s really strange. Your akismet didn’t recognize you as the owner. :D

      Even I’m having problems with Akismet. For the past few days, it has started blocking all my pingbacks :S I have to manually de-spam every pingback.

      I hate to laugh, but that is just hilarious. Were you logged in as an admin when it happened, or just commenting without being logged in?

      That was indeed fully, of late Akismet has become ineffective.
