I’ve always really ignored the comment moderation queue, generally trusting Akismet to filter out the spam and only let real comments through. Â I’ve actually been very pleased with it as it has stopped comment spam coming through, which was initially quite a nuisance. Â This evening though (as I currently can’t get to sleep) I decided to have a look through the comments that Akismet has marked as spam.
While a lot of the stuff in there was spam, there were a few comments that were genuine. Â I know the comments are held in the queue for a few days before actually being deleted, so I’ve gone back as far as I can. Â I’d just like to quickly apologise to anyone who has posted a comment and not had it show up; it’s nice to get some feedback and I do appreciate it. Â I’m also going to be more vigilant in the future, and try to make sure I check it every so often.
