Some Pinoy bloggers are familiar with the leap day (February 29) incident when kuya Jehz the Loser’s BlogSpot blog was locked by Google after getting a spam blog status, right? Now, another Pinoy blogger was tagged as a spammer, not by Google but by Akismet.
Akismet Spam Filter tagged a Pinoy Blogger, Gerwin of Simpleng Tao as a spammer. We (he and I) discovered his “spammer” status after trying to comment in my blog last Sunday.
His comment failed to appear on my post page and reported it to me. At first, I tried to check my fresh self-coded and designed WordPress theme. There was no problem with the code though, since other people had the chance to comment. Then I checked my blog’s commentator blacklist, but still not listed. So I resorted on checking my Akismet spam comments and his comment was there together with other pornographic spam comments.
Until now, he still can’t understand why he was banned. Poor Gerwin, poor blogger.

Can he still be unbanned? Di ba nag-iinvestigate ang Google before they do something like this?

Sa lagay ni Gerwin, Akismet ang nagimpose ng “spam” status. Pwede iunspam yung mga nablock para malearn ng Akismet na di yun spam. After which, tatanggalin ata ng Akismet after several unspamming of his comments.
Tas kay kuya Jehz, kailangan niya pa ata maghintay so nagswitch nalang siya to WordPress.
This is a life saving plugin but it does make mistakes. I often find quality comments in spam folder.

Akismet really is a key plugin for wordpress to keep all the spam out, they do a very good job, it stops most of the rubbish getting through onto my site.
