PHSDL files a False Positive Complaint with Akismet anti Spam FilterThere is a problem with Akismet with false positives. I am an administrator for PHSDL anti Zlob Trojan ActiveX Malware redirect domains and my www.travelinasia.net forum has been flagged as Spam by Akismet filter. www.travelinasia.net forum is an incubator for PHSDL and there is no Spam on it what so ever. PHSDL supports Wikipedia.org, but Akismet filter also blocks Wikipedia.org url from being posted in comment messages. PHSDL did a test study on Akismit techonoly for Searchenginejornal.com and SEJ has replaced Akismet with captcha. http://www.travelinasia.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5831 test result. Not all commentators are Spammers, as per your say. What is Spam to one is news or relevent information to others. The real Spam is redirect domains to pornographic and nedicine Websites, especially Zlob Trojan Porn. PHSDL has been authenticated by Lance Spitzner from www.honeynet.org You can see PHSDL involvement in community. http://www.phsdl.net/phsdl-in-community.php Please rectify the situation immediately and take www.travelinasia.net of Akismet Spam list. I will also post this complaint on PHSDL website as public notice. Best regards, I have filed this complaint on Aksimet website blog, and they have deleted it. Akismet does not want to aknowledge they have a problem blocking really comments. Read this post on their blog and you can only see positive replies.
Andy Beard social media consultant on Akismet False Positives David Naylor SEO from Bronco.co.uk speaks out against Akismet technology Loren Baker SEJ stopped using Akismet and changed to captcha after PHSDL test. Rob Watts from Yak Yak SEO changed
from Akismet to Captcha after we almost started a Trans Atlantic War when my
comments to his blog where caught by Akismet. I in the heat of the moment went to Michael
Gray's blog and spoke out referencing the incident! Rob was kind enough to come to Michael's blog and tell me that my comments on his blog was caught by Akismet. and he has approved them since. What URL's were caught by Akismet in the post? Since the incident, Rob Watts stopped using Akismet and changed to Captcha, same like Loren for SearchEngineJournal did. I also had my comments flagged by Akismet on Michael Arrington TechCrunch blog with AboutUs.org URL. Akismet is dangerous it impedes free speech and causes problems among people thinking that the person does not like them and does not want to approve their comments! While Akismet does give an ability for the user to approve the comments, when one uses it with full faith and trust, and does not have time to moderate thier blog it can create a huge problem for that person. While the responsibility for moderating a blog should fall on administrator not Akismet, real time commentary is of an essence and cannot be trusted to Akismet for moderation.
