Blogger now filters comments that are likely spam comments to a Spam Inbox, much like the spam folder in your email. When someone leaves a comment on your blog, it will be reviewed against our spam detector, and comments that are identified as possible spam will be sent to your blog’s Spam Inbox, found at Comments | Spam.Ground Control to Blogger Tom... take this feedback pill and put your thinking helmet on. I'm hardly going to spam my own fucking blog, you muppets.
You can help improve our ability to automatically detect spam comments by checking your Spam Inbox and deleting spam comments and marking real comments that may have been flagged as spam as Not Spam.
We are always seeking feedback on how to improve this feature, so please share your feedback with us by clicking on the Report Spam Filtering Issues.

Bloody Blogger.
Bloody Blogger and bloody Blogger's bloody comment system. I've just found the fucking thing has chucked one of my own comments in the spam bin. Can I prevent a repeat? Doesn't look likely.
I regularly get my comments moved into the spam folder of people's blogs I'm commenting on (I'm sure lots of people will laugh and say your comments are spam..) anyway, it's a pain in the arse. Long comments, comments with links within them will most times go into the Spam folder and it really pisses me off. How about blogger let's the blog owner decide whether it's spam or not? I have a feeling that it's a case of our controllers believing that people will eventually give up posting on blogs for having their comments thrown into the Spam folder, you know, stopping people from hearing the truth and the like?
ReplyDeleteAgreed about Blogger leaving the decision to us, or failing that at least giving much greater control to the person whose blog it is, though as far as the reason why goes I'll go with Hanlon's Razor and presume stupidity over conspiracy.

ReplyDeleteTypical. If it's not taking out legitimate comments it's doing more or less bugger all. Sounds like a government operation actually. Maybe Harbinger is right after all...
