Oh my dearest WordPress
Stop messing with my fam
I like to read their comments
You keep sending them to spam!
Their words, for me, inspire
When I don’t see them, what to do?
It’s likely you already know
I blame it all on you
See, our dear friend Ritu crowned us
She calls us One Big Blogily
Stop hiding those who matter
Sincerely, your WordPress family

Hello!
I’m on the Akismet team at WordPress.com and we’re listening! If you’re having problems with spam – missed spam or false positives or anything else – then feel free to contact us via our Contact Us page:
https://akismet.com/contact/
You can also help by flagging missed spam as spam and un-spamming false positives. Doing both of these things will send reports through to us and also help Akismet learn.
Akismet isn’t perfect. There will always be some spam that gets through and some legitimate comments which are mistakenly flagged as spam. But we aim for a 99% and higher accuracy rate. If you think Akismet isn’t working well on your site then feel free to get in touch and we’ll check the stats.

Thank you for reaching out!! This is an ongoing problem, not just for me but many of my fellow bloggers. I am receiving spam comments in my email, and actual comments go to spam. while I realize it can never be perfect, lately it’s been a mess.

Yeah, it falls on deaf ears. Too bad, they’d have a lot more happy people if they actually paid attention.

a good reason for all of us to check our Spam folder.

But we shouldn’t have to. There is a pattern to target spam comments. ordinary comments should never go to spam. I have my comments set to moderate, so I’m flagging the junk anyway. Now it’s just more work having to go through all the other junk to find what I really want to read LOL

you are right about that. I moderate my comments as well, but occasionally I do find a comment in spam.
