[Plugin: Akismet 2.5.2] Creates Spam? (2 posts)

    So, I've had a simple blog for awhile but recently been updating it and re-theming it to get ready for my application's release. I never once had an issue with spam (figured I was lucky or just didn't have enough traffic for spam to bother with) but decided to install Akismet just to be safe.

    It seems that I get spam "caught" by Akismet while enabled which I used to NEVER get before. If I disable it, I never see any spam posted in the comments. It seems as if Akismet is creating the spam or because I have it enabled I become a target for spam.

    Anyone else have these issues or is this known and I just never got the memo?

    You are welcome to contact Akismet at akismet.com/contact/ and we can take a look at the stats for your account and see if there is anything odd looking.
