As a new blogger, I always checked my akismet comments. Ya never know if a legitimate reader suddenly found his/her comment eated oop.
But vigilance, like flowers and virility, fades with time, and now, I only check “flagged as spam” comments about once every two or three weeks. It’s not something I look forward to… I usually end up with several hundred of the damn things whenever I bother to check it.
!BUT!
On the off chance some poor person tried to comment on my blog and got all sad seeing their comment… well, not seeing their comment, I am VIGILANT. I will hunt that comment down, and APPROVE IT DAMN IT!
TO HELL WITH ENLARGING MY SEXUAL CAR INSURANCE USING ASIAN NATURAL BANKING FIRMS.
So. To those three people who’s comments got eated, they have been un-eated, and vomited (bile and all!) into their proper place amongst the comments.
I’ve yet to have Akismet eat a legit post. Then again I don’t have the traffic you do nor the uptime history of your site. Only 317 spam comments caught to date…
I’ve had Akismet eat one comment. I am still a fairly new blogger so I check the queue every day, but it’s quickly losing its charm. Getting very tired of it, and it’s only been 180 spam total so far. Only, hah.
