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 .

AKISMET IS A BIG JOKE OF THE CENTURY!

Now I couldn’t comment anywhere again. It proves that Akismet is a blacklist! (Don’t lie Akismet!) Even on the page that I have previously approved comments or on Akismet page of WordPress.

I’ll continue writing about Akismet anywhere as it blocks me anywhere.

I’ll update it soon.

I don’t use Akismet on my self hosting blog anymore since maybe I have enough reasons:

• I don’t need it for my little website for now. I don’t have much enough spam comments as well because I use captcha for registration and comment. Since then no more unwanted registrations and comments.
• Akismet actually is a blacklist to me although they said not (sorry Akismet). Because I have prove and logic. I don’t know which criteria makes a comment as a spam for Akismet. And I know the options of “Don’t discard spam on old posts”, “An administrator must always approve the comment”, “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”, “Hold a comment in the queue if it contains … or more links.” of WordPress. I mean you are always flagged as spam anywhere once Akismet caught you. Akismet will take care of comments that are flagged as spam as to that options unchecked will prevent tons of spam comments going to your folder. The funny thing is that I have previously approved comment and when I came back to comment again with same name, email but this time with my website URL filled in box is flagged as spam. Nothing showed. Nothing words like “your comment is awaiting for approval”, moderation or something. It went to spam folder, didn’t it?
• I think a spam is unintelligible comment with many words and URLs is usually generated by robot or script or machine software, not an ordinary legit comment that has link(s) in it.
• If using captcha works, why do I have to use Akismet still?
• Maybe I will lose any good information by using Akismet anyway.

And this is what I call spam. It’s generated by random machine. Usually used for forum with common [tag]:
