If you are getting caught in the SPAM FILTER, then the first step in WOLF MOON’S WAR ON SPAM-CAMOUFLAGED CENSORSHIP PRIOR TO THE 2020 ELECTION WHERE THESE JOKERS ARE ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE TO STOP TRUMP is for you all to contact a company called “Akismet” that provides censorship spam services to WordPress.
This is NOT guaranteed to fix your problem. Only our continuing to rain hell on WordPress, Akismet, and their dodgy parent company AutomattiKKK is guaranteed to make people “solve” (meaning BACK THE **** OFF) this growing “censorship by false attribution of beloved posters as spam, camouflaged by allowed spam and COUGH ‘spam’ COUGH” issue.
These companies will social-network-groom us over their BANKRUPTCIES and HEARINGS.
But first things first. YOU are being asked to very kindly PLAY ALONG WITH THEIR BULLSHIT.
Here’s how you do it.
- Go to this line in a different tab: https://akismet.com/contact/
- Under “Please tell us more“, click the radio button for the 4th item, “I think Akismet is catching my comments by mistake“.
- Answer the simple math question, presumably in base 10, to show them you are human.
- Give them your ONLINE NAME that you use on WordPress and your WordPress-associated email address. This is the email address that goes with your posts, and THEY ALREADY GET IT, so you are not giving them any new information.
- Skip “Company”, “Your Site URL”, and “API Key” – these are for PAID CUSTOMERS.
- Add a nice, friendly, detailed message that makes them realize you are not a spammer, but a blog commenter who has been wrongly named as a spammer for “unknown reasons”.
- Hit “Submit”.
Your form will look something like this, minus both the joke about base 8, and the 4th wall message.
I cannot guarantee in any way that this will help. However, it may. Mostly, it will PROBE THE ENEMY for whether they are dealing with us in good faith.
In addition, here are some links talking about Akismet labeling people as spam. They all say to do what we are doing above.
