all my posts blocked as spam

@edmaul69 @BuZz Yeah that didn't take long for the spam bots to catch wind of. Hopefully akismet can sort out whatever is going on with legitimate user accounts being flagged.

@chaberman yeah akismet says they have no clue why my posts are being flagged as spam

Unfortunately they are back...

BuZz

I have re-enabled akismet again. Sorry.

@edmaul69 Akismet told me the same thing:
"Hi Chris,

From looking at your test comment, Akismet doesn't have any of your information and would not be classifying your comments as spam. I'd recommend getting in touch with the admins of that site to see if there's any other blacklist or anti-spam plugins being used. Perhaps they have a block on some VPN endpoints, you creating a new account with a new email and IP address would indicate that.

Warm regards,
Greg"

Any other plugins are most likely irrelevant since the message we both received clearly stated that we were being blocked by akismet.

The only thing I can do my end is make it a minimum of 1 reputation to bypass akismet and make sure you both have at least one upvote.

Now that you enabled again this is just another test post to see if i get blocked or not

@pimpmaul69 said in all my posts blocked as spam:

So i tried to post this test reply and got the flagged for spam message but yet it appears to have posted anyways.

@BuZz It is interesting, are you running the latest version of akismet?
Maybe try going back a version if it was upgraded recently and see if the problem persists? I am also curious that so far only myself and @pimpmaul69 @edmaul69 have had this issue occur or at least we are the only two who bothered to report it. I would think this would be a much more widespread issue if it wasn't something specific to our accounts, IP addresses, posting habits, or something else unique to us.
