Friends, Romans, fellow bloggers:

A great misfortune has befallen the Stevo. Somehow, he has been labeled by Askimet, WordPress’s spam filter, as spam. Yes, all my comments on WordPress.com are being stuffed into your overly ripe spam comment box. I don’t often post links to “farm animal sex girl” websites, I don’t understand why this occurred. The injustice! The horror!

I am told it will take a few days for my details to be removed from the Askimet database. The situation probably isn’t helped by the in-progress silly season. For the sake of the Stevo, give your spam comments a look. If I am listed please de-spam me. This will release from the Askimet cage of silence sooner.

    Yeah, I noticed that you were flagged the other day.

    I de-spammed you.

    I also felt so dirty afterwards… ;)

  2. Paul Sunstone Says:

    Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check my spam comments from now on rather than just delete them. But I’ve noticed that Askimet seems to automatically delete some spam without consulting me about it.

    I don’t trust Akismet at all. People tell me that my pings go into their spamboxes all the time. I contacted Akismet and they told me that should never happen. Yeah, right. Dirtbags, all of them.

    Gosh. Don’t you feel dirty now?

    I found two.

    I’m illogical. My sweetie has been clearing out her spam box and I told her I thought that was bonkers since it clears automatically but since she was doing it, I started doing it too. This means that since I’ve been cleaning things lately, I may have missed some. Poo. That’s all I have to say about that. No. I think the situation warrants saying that twice. So, I’m going to say it again. Poo.

    Funny, Mr. Bongo - Your PingBack was in my moderated comments, but your comment was in my spam box. Spam the Bongo? The nerve of these people!

    I found (and released you) today between the Mexican Pharmacy and the French Kiss. I thought maybe you’d been doing travel posts again.

    I’ll take a look. It’s been a while since I cleaned it out. I always look before I delete.

    I think they don’t like all your little widgets and banners and stuff. That’s probably why. I like them, though!

    Awww, poor Stevo! No wonder we’ve all missed you so much! I demand satisfaction on your behalf! I’ll contact….uh…well, someone really important…heads are gonna roll!

  12. Brian Says:

    I understand as I’ve been spammed before leaving a comment on my own blog. If you should wander by, I will de-spam, un-spam you asap.
