I’ve turned off Askimet (the anti-spam comment filter for WordPress) for the moment, as I noticed something amis and I want to make sure it hasn’t been just eating legitimate comments.
An hour ago it said it had caught 130 spam for me. Fine. Then just now it said it had caught 133, but there was only one comment listed in the akisment review queue. So what happened to the other two?
Looking back, I notice that the number of caught spams is going up WAY faster than the list of caught spams that it shows me. This suggests that some are going into the queue where I can review them, and some are going right into the bit bucket. That’s a little alarming.
So now that Akismet is off: Has anyone had problems getting their comments to show up?
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
The Witch Watch
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
This Game is Too Videogame-y
What's wrong with a game being "too videogameish"?
Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
What is Piracy?
It seems like a simple question, but it turns out everyone has a different idea of right and wrong in the digital world.
I have had no problem, and have not noticed any such behavior at Houblog.
I’ve noticed that Akismet claims to have protected me from 4 spam posts, but so far I’ve only seen 3 in the queue. Not sure what’s going on there, I thought it was unusual myself.
Ok, I don’t know what is up with the inflated numbers. Perhaps it’s related to open or insecure proxies, which wordpress auto-blacklists. Maybe those are getting counted, even though they would get nuked even without akismet.
In any case, looks like akismet isn’t eating comments, so it’s back on now.
