Akismet treats my own comment as a Spam



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.

    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.
