Find out if you are blocked by Akismet

askimet_spam

**This was a popular and relevant post for a good while but seems to have founds it’s way to a Scrapebox list.  I’m spending half an hour a day reading comments that haven’t been caught as spam (on top of the 500 a day that have been) and it just isn’t a good use of my time.  A shame to do it but I really have no option but to close comments**

 

Since I started this WordPress blog, I’ve seen the genuine benefits of using Akismet to defeat the hoards of spammers out there.

Unfortunately, I’ve also witnessed a number of false positives, most of which have included a sufficiently lengthy and relevant comment. I can only assume that the URL linked to the poster’s name is on a blacklist.

What worries me is that the same posters get flagged time and time again despite the fact that I have approved their comments.  Does Akismet not review false positives and modify its blacklist?

If you think you are falling foul of Akismet, then post here.  If the comment doesn’t show, then you are caught….but I will approve all appropriate comments to see if that helps (a couple of lines without a link in the body of the comment should do it).

Alternatively, you can always contact Askimet to ask to be removed from the blacklist.  Good luck with that!

EDIT: 8th December 2010 – I’m overwhelmed by the number of people who have found this post useful, a big thanks to all of you.  The irony is that it has also attracted more spam posts in itself than the rest of the blog combined.  Spammers spamming a post about spam detection, now that is funny!

Find out if you are blocked by Akismet

  • iPhone Fan |

    I have experienced this problem and have asked to be taken off the blacklist but without success. Very frustrating, I have only ever made relevant comments.

  • Free iPhone 3GS |

    I wonder if I will have any more luck today!

  • iPhone4me |

    Still trying to figure out how askimet works, is it the Name, Mail, or Website field that does it?

  • John smith |

    any luck?

  • Steve Elliott |

    @iPhone4me, it’s the website/IP address that does it. Still no luck for me with http://www.simplyfreeiphone.co.uk (:

  • steve |

    am i black listed?

  • Jack |

    Blacklist?

  • Jack |

    What about this?

  • Steve Elliott |

    Jack, one of your posts got through (the one without the URL), the other was blocked by Akismet (because of the URL).

  • Pescuit |

    I think I am also banned by Akismet.

    EDIT by Steve Elliott – Yes, I think you may be, this went to spam.

  • Greg |

    hello.. am I being caught? I was at one point, but I thought it got straightened out.. now I see to be having trouble again. very frustrating.

    MOD EDIT – Yes, this one went to spam.

  • Greg |

    darn… I guess that I AM being caught.. maybe because I put a deep link as the website.. lets see if I just use the main url.. very annoying..

  • Peter |

    how about this.. is this getting caught also?

  • Steve Elliott |

    @Greg – your first comment got caught but not the second, are you using different URLs?

    @ Peter – nope, yours didn’t get caught, it was just moderated.

  • Paul |

    Just a post to check i’m not blacklisted. I don’t think I am.

    Edit – Nope, you’re not. Steve

  • Baz |

    Never heard of that before. I don’t think I would be . Could whoever owns a domain previously get it banned? then the new owner unwittingly ends up with it.

  • Dave Hine |

    Am I blacklisted, I have heard that you could be blacklisted before you started posting?

  • Steve Elliott |

    Nope, you weren’t blacklist Dave, comment was fine.

  • sam |

    Im being blocked by askimet, it is very annoying my comments dont come up on most blogs, which is annoying as im trying to get a few backlinks, which is making it harder!

  • Don Juan |

    Am i blacklisted?

  • Don Juan |

    block?

    EDIT – Yes, I’ve retrieved the two posts from Spam. Steve

  • Jane |

    Let’s see.. akismet is really evil?

  • Options |

    I’m trying to figure out if one of my sites is block or not. Does this come in your spam filter or in the regular inbox. I’ve been making comments and a lot times they don’t show up.

    Edit – This was in the normal inbox but I am surprised given that you are link to a debt site.

  • Bubba |

    I’m just testing to see if I’m blocked by Akismet.

    Edit – Nope, but you’ve not added a URL so you are unlikely to be!

  • David |

    Sorry I’m late. But this problem is new to me and I need a test too. See if this gets through at least to moderation.

    ADMIN EDIT: ****BLOCKED BY AKISMET****

  • David |

    Testing without website URL. The last one with URL got blocked.

  • David |

    Now testing without my URL, including my URL not in email address. If this makes it (the last two did not) then my URL or website IP is getting blocked.

    ADMIN EDIT: ****BLOCKED BY AKISMET****

  • David |

    Testing with a URL shortener. If this makes it, then I’m really getting blocked (URL or IP that is).

    ADMIN EDIT: ****BLOCKED BY AKISMET****

  • David |

    This is my final test with my URL in (I forget to check whether my last comments got to moderation stage). If this does not show that comment is awaiting moderation then the culprit is Askimet.

    ADMIN EDIT: ****BLOCKED BY AKISMET****

  • David |

    Now testing without my blog extension in URL.

    ADMIN EDIT – Sorry, caught in Aksimet spam filter because you used “free” in your name anchor (which I have edited!)

  • Christer |

  • Steve Elliott |

    You are not blocked Christer :)

  • Baz |

    Could you check this please Steve, and unmark as spam as i’ve seen someone using my site on blogs with spam in the comments

  • Frank |

    I’d appreciate if you could check me also. My comment postings seem to be getting denied lately.

    Thanks,

    Frank

  • Steve Elliott |

    @Baz – Yup, caught in spam, had to manually approve.

    @Frank – No problems there sir, not caught by Akismet this time.

  • Baz |

    Someone’s been plastering foreign language in blogs with my url attached. Seems I have an enemy. Any idea waht I could do to get my comments approved again?

  • Steve Elliott |

    @Baz – interestingly, the post you made on 2nd June didn’t hit spam.

  • Baz |

    @Steve – That is probably because you manually approved the previous one that did. The problem is not many bloggers really check the spam bin.

  • Andy |

    Am I blocked? I wasn’t able to post my comment on a site before.. it sucks :(

    ADMIN EDIT – Yup Andy, sorry, had to retrieve this from Akismet spam.

  • BP |

    Is the above URL blocked? Great post idea, by the way!

    ADMIN EDIT – Nope, not blocked, I just needed to approve it. Thanks, Steve

    What does it mean when I post on a wordpress blog and hit the post comment button and I get redirected to a blank page. I don’t get redirected back to the blog to see my post, it’s just an empty blank page. I just tried a blog today where this has happened tome. I has happened to me on several blogs.

    Admin Edit – No idea, sorry. Steve

    am i blocked?

  • Steve Elliott |

    If your post shows (once I have moderated it), then you are not blocked. Well, not blocked on this site anyway.

  • james |

    quick test to see if im black listed :)

  • ayuan |

    Today, I read a very helpful post and it helped me a lot. I posted a long comment to express my “thanks” to the author, and when I pressed the button “submit”, I just got a totally blank screen. I was a little frustrated.
    I had no idea about that, so I did a lot of research on “wp-comments-post.php” and finally find your post which you offer a test for us. Thank you so much for this. Please let me know I was blocked or not?

  • ayuan |

    Sorry to bother you again, I am not sure if I am banned by using the inner links. So would you mind to check this for me? If it is banned, please let me know. I will never use inner link again.

  • Steve Elliott |

    @James – great to hear from you Eonbar, not blacklisted here.

    @ayuan – both seem ok :)

  • ayuan |

    Thanks for letting me know my links are ok. I kind feel a little release. You are so kind to offer this opportunity that we can test if our links are blocked by akismet or not. This post helps a lot of people and they all benefit from your kindness. Thanks again and have a good weekend!

  • wade lorio |

    what is the solution? if you are blacklisted?

  • Benoît Bouré |

    I think I have also been banned. :-/
    I also noticed that “unspaming” comment does not change anything. Maybe you need a certain number of “unspam” from many different blogs ?
    So, If my comment does not go through. Thanks for unspamming me.

    Hi,

    Thanks for letting us know how to check if the site is blocked by akismet or not.

    It really sucks to see your comments not getting approved when you never spammed anywhere. Hope they update their systems and don’t punish non spammers also.

  • PJ @ Home Decor Accents | Outdoor Garden Decorations |

    Akismet works so good that it even banned a test comment on my own blog. Now how many other comments are put in the spam folder by “accident”. Contacting Akismet is absolutely a waste of time, they don’t take time to take you off their blacklist is some jealous blogger or a competitor sent your comment to spam and you were added to Aksimet’s blacklist automatically.
    Fighting spam is fine but if this tool can be used to kick a competitor out of the field then this tool needs some serious work.

  • Fuzquia |

    just checking as some of my ‘manual’ comments are disappearing. can you be marked as spam for manual commenting?

    Hi, just checking to see if my IP address is blocked by Akismet. For this reason I’ve placed Google’s web address in the URL field. I’m pretty sure Akismet hasn’t blocked Google. I’m extending this comment of course as I don’t want Akismet to block me for having a short comment :p

  • Bruce |

    Ok, so just wanted to see if my website url is blocked by akismet. Now I do wonder if Akismet has blocked my URL, as I’ve been trying to post relevant blog comments with little success.

    Thanks you Steve for letting me check this out.

    thanks for offering this service. I imagine you are slammed with comments. I’ll check back in a few days to see if this has been posted or if akismet really is blacklisting me. i put a random link in the website part of the form just to be complete. not trying to spam here.
