We’ve been experiencing a rather large number of comments from registered members getting categorized as spam comments on member’s blogs.
For the next two weeks, we’re going to run a little unsafe, while testing letting things go with one of our anti-spam layers turned off. I’ll try to track things and keep an eye on how much spam doesn’t get properly marked, or which comments post immediately to your blog posts. If you have experienced spam comments being approved on your posts, let me know in this thread.
Getting the levels of the protections just right seems to be a bit of a fine art.

This is exactly what @peter has been waiting for – feedback! 🙂 We got some from @lahikmajoe too, so thanks to him and @thepurrfectcup aka Courtney.

@thepurrfectcup It was turned back on. We mentioned that a little while back. When you say it “gets through” do you mean it gets through as an “approved” comment, or the comments are in your spam folder?

@thepurrfectcup – I’ve a list of words commonly found in spam to your blacklist. This will force posts containing those words directly into the spam file and will bypass the moderation file. This should prevent the moderate this comment emails, but it may send more comments into spam because it works with partial words too.
Anyone interested in doing the same thing can set it up in their dashboard under Settings -> Discussion. The spam words list can be found here.

@Peter I just found out that I had once more spammed my own blog.
This happened with my last reply to a comment made by @thedevotea on my Hamburg post.
