 * i thought it was great, since spam died off the second i installed it. unfortunately,
   so did all other comments, and i soon learned from readers that none of them 
   were able to leave comments. they all received an error that the date field needed
   to be blank, and to try again. since the date field was apparently filling itself
   in, it viewed everyone as a spammer.

 * Do you have Caching plugin installed?
 * If yes, then you should clear all Cache on your site and Anti-spam plugin should
   work perfectly.
 * Please, write me back if it helped.

 * This error also could appear if theme does not use ‘comment_form’ action.
 * I updated the plugin to version 1.7 and now Anti-spam plugin should work even
   if cache is not cleared or if theme does not use ‘comment_form’.
