It would be nice if after you submit a comment you received some sort of feedback. Explain to the user that the comment is being moderated and give them an estimate of when to expect the comment to be displayed.

I posted several comments this week and after submitting the page refreshes and then… nothing. Did they receive my comment? Should I try to post again? Is it being moderated? Was it considered spam? A little feedback would have been much appreciated.

So if one blog that uses Askimet flags your comment as spam, then every blog that uses Askimet will do the same?

Daniel,

Thanks for posting my question.

I followed your advice, contacted Akismet, and the problem appears to have been rectified.

Very cool. Thanks man!!

From my own experience of running a few blogs that start to get search engine traffic and subscribers, I find that there is a certain point where the amount of bogus posts just overwhelms me and I have to use tools like askimet, or just turn off comments entirely, because I just get inundated with junk.

Its hard enough to try to run a blog efficently but 100 comments in a day, most of them off topic are just hard to deal with. But I always catch up eventually, and the really relevant, good posts always eventually get approved and posted by me, it just takes as much as a week sometimes.

So my advice is be patient, and definately contact the guys at askimet if this happens a lot.
