What’s wrong with Akismet ?
By Reaper-X on Sep 24, 2007 in Opinion, Personal, Wordpress
I just don’t understand … how come i’m as the owner of this blog / website get marked as spam whenever i tried to reply to the comment(s) posted by this site visitors …
Another case is … when i'm trying to test posting a comment to my own local server which is obviously can’t be accessed by anyone, by simply using Test as nickname, with test@test.com as it’s email address and http://test.com as the url address .. it’s still being marked as spam ! and with 192.168.3.1 as it’s ip address !
At first i thought that the ip address that i'm currently using (i'm on dynamic ip address) already marked as spammers ip by akismet, but if local ip address gets marked as spam, i’m sure there’s something more to it (like user agent detection, referer, etc)
I know that you can mark yourself as not spam, so that Akismet can learn to fix it’s mistake … but perhaps it’d be better if Akismet check if the user already logged-in or has administrative privilege and automatically bypassing the spam checking mechanism for that user
Perhaps … it’s just me … but after getting marked as spam and need to unmark myself for about 4 – 5 times today, and that’s not including yesterday … i feel kinda bored about it … beside when i gets marked as spam, i didn’t put any links on my comment

We all us have been marked as spam by Akismet, at wordpress forums you can find many of those threads. I agreed with you, akismet should detect if you have an Wordpress Cookie, something like:
if ( !logged_in() && !akismet->is_spam() )
......
Someone should submit a ticket at trac xD. Cheers.
ah lol .. i thought im the only one who's experiencing this :P
btw i just wrote another comment and it got caught immediately by akismet .. sigh :(
Reaper-x: Your comments should be good now. If not, or there is a future problem, please contact support through akismet.com
jaroche: so having a wordpress cookie means you are good? So then all the spammers get wordpress blogs or fake cookies. Then lots of blogs get swamped by spam so the cookie method stops and we are back where we are today.
Thanks a lot Mark, next time im going to contact the akismet support team if im experiencing the same problem like this :)
