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?
The Game That Ruined Me
Be careful what you learn with your muscle-memory, because it will be very hard to un-learn it.
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
Why The Christmas Shopping Season is Worse Every Year
Everyone hates Black Friday sales. Even retailers! So why does it exist?
Good to be the King?
Which would you rather be: A king in the middle ages, or a lower-income laborer in the 21st century?
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
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.
