WordPress’s Akismet (spam eater) has seemingly hacked into my spiked granola bars and has gone mad!!
Attention: To all those using WordPress.com as there blogging platform, you ARE getting comments. Just look in your spam folder and viola, they’ll be right there waiting for you. While there will be some genuine spam that needs to be flushed away, there may also be REAL comments from REAL people. So, please check it regularly.
I am making comments all over WordPress on dozens and dozens of blogs, but either I get the “discarded” error message or they just go into OUTERSPACE somewhere to which I’ve recently found out that they are simply HIDING in your spam buckets!! So, please pull them out for me, and if you don’t mind, please send a support ticket to WordPress.com and another one to Akismet and tell them I’m not trying to sell penis enlargement pills or “free” ring tones! 
For some reason or another, there are some people on WordPress that are having this problem. And it’s a very recent problem.
This is *not* a result of sending a link or some links, sending abusive messages, or being caught in the “moderation queue”. This is a quirk in the system. And it’s quite the frustrating! And for the record, I’ve sent in already 4 support tickets.
UPDATE: My end has been resolved. Finally.
Should YOU have any problems with the aforementioned, this is the message Mark from Akismet left on the support forums:
@anyone else:
If you need to contact Akismet support you must include:Name
Website (if used)
IP addressIf you do not include all that then I will just ask for it and that makes everything slower for you.
Some of the comments you’re leaving look very much like spam. You left this on one of my test posts.

This is my favorite WP layout. Don’t change a thing. It’s awesome. Thank you for a job well done!

I only did that because you were directing your commenters to comment in one specific area of your blog, and I hadn’t noticed that until I had realized I commented in the wrong place. That was the first time I had done that, anyway.
ah, okay.
It’s just that from the blog author point of view seeing the same comment repeat itself multiple times usually raises a red flag and makes us hit the “mark as spam” button.
I don’t know why my comments are being discarded. I just registered for an account and have never spammed blogs!
why me assumed SPAM??
