I have found something about Akismet past few days. Now I update my writing.
Akismet flags users behind proxy as spam. I have tested that when I use proxy to connect then my comment will disappear even if I have logged in.
Well I don’t know if this is fair or not, but sometimes I use proxy for privacy and sometimes not, and that doesn’t mean I’m spammer. For a technology that is used by a lot of people around the world without being able to configure manually is not a good idea. People will miss chances with legit users.
So what reason to use it? It’s totally a crap. Just use captcha for your own sake. I have a friend that always use proxy without referrer to browse internet and he’s legit user, not a spammer, never spams anyone.
Of course if you use wordpress.com you have to live with that. WordPress is a big company doesn’t need legit users having privacy. You need WordPress and WordPress doesn’t need you
