Pinoy Blogger, tagged as spammer by Akismet

Some Pinoy bloggers are familiar with the leap day (February 29) incident when kuya Jehz BlogSpot blog was locked by Google after getting a spam blog status, right? Now, another Pinoy blogger was tagged as a spammer, not by Google but by Akismet.

Akismet Spam Filter tagged a Pinoy Blogger, Gerwin of Simpleng Tao as a spammer. We (Gerwin and I, Conrad Miguel E. Gozalo) discovered his “spammer” status after trying to comment in my blog last Sunday.

His comment failed to appear on my post page and reported it to me. At first, I tried to check my fresh self-coded and designed WordPress theme. There was no problem with the code though, since other people had the chance to comment. Then I checked my blog’s commentator blacklist, but still not listed.  So I resorted on checking my Akismet spam comments and his comment was there together with other pornographic spam comments.

Until now, he still can’t understand why he was banned.

    I too was marked as spammer before by akismet, I posted a comment to their site and after 2-3days they replied with a short message, “Sorry, your comments should be ok now.” Now my comments aren’t blocked anymore.
    So try and send them a message on their website, and I hope it gets fixed soon.
