It really annoys me when Askimet deletes a legitimate blog comment, the blog owner gets accused of censorship! http://snurl.com/2efiz
Agreed, but what's the alternative? I think Askimet does a pretty decent job. False spam deletions are relatively low. - AJ Kohn
Paul: Akismet has three buckets, approved, moderated, and spam. Sometimes it puts real comments in the spam filter. I get so much spam that often I don't see these "fake positives." Funny, but FriendFeed doesn't have this problem and I haven't seen spam show up yet on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
I wondered if that happened: "Akismet has caught 126,613 spam for you since you first installed it." - Stephan Miller
MakeUseOf gets thousands of spam comments every day and I'm sure a few genuine comments accidently get nuked by Askimet. But I can't go through thousands of spams on the off-chance that I MIGHT find a false positive! - Mark O'Neill
