Dave’s Blog » False Positives — OK, I’ve just installed the newest release candidate of Spam Karma 2.3. If you are getting rejected comments please read this webpage cited above. Also send me a note.

So your comment was denied on a blog, and the perennial Spam Karma error message showed up, informing you it couldn’t be posted (provided the blog admin was a responsible admin and was keeping up with versions, you should have gotten the “updated” message, which isn’t so nasty any more: if you received some rather offensive piece basically accusing you of spamming, please accept all apologies and keep going).

Quite obviously, since you are reading this, you are not a spammer. You know it, I know it. You feel unjustly singled out, quite possibly frustrated, perhaps a bit angry and, if your mom didn’t hug you enough as a kid, you might even be inclined to overly aggressive and rude behaviour toward anything that ressembles a culprit for this problem. Please read on…

    Am I a spammer?

  3. OmarThe Alien says:

    Down the road a little bit I may do a blog, as the guestbook on my site has long been tossed as naught but a spam colleector.

  4. Angel H. Wong says:

    Mmm… spam… *drool*

  5. lakelady says:

    thanks for the update. I hope this straightens things out.

  6. jccalhoun says:

    every comment i try to post is marked as spam. I’m trying it without my hotmail address and without my website address to see if it will go through

  7. Cheese says:

    Test 2. Last test result (as all postings since SK was installed):

    Sorry, but your comment has been flagged by the spam filter running on this blog: this might be an error, in which case all apologies. Your comment will be presented to the blog admin who will be able to restore it immediately.
    You may want to contact the blog admin via e-mail to notify him.

    test. This is still not working. John e-mailed me three times that he thought he had fixed it, but I still can’t post. At least some of my posts show up after a while.

    [Nope, but it might force an editor to delete the comment out of spite ;) ]

  18. Jeanne says:

    Am I still blocked??

  19. Oaf Tobark says:

    My comment was posted and then removed with no apparent justification. Very strange as there was nothing offensive in my comment post. They didn’t even try to e-mail me at my e-mail which I provided. Makes me feel like comments at John C. Dvorak are politically censored.
