Akismet has no working appeal mechanism. What seems like 1000 years ago I got banned by it for posting comments on my own blog. (haha!) If I comment any place using it my comment are silently filtered out.

I got banned by disquss too! for posting many useful links in comments on blogs by people I know. They resolved the issue in 2 days and were wonderfully polite about it.

Akismet should at least clear wordpress users banned countless years ago and wp should replace it with something less well... insane.

I don't mind not being able to reply on my own wp blog. It is fairly amusing actually. Ill just use some other blog engine. Its easy for me.

but it seems bad for wp to refer to their users as uhh lets kill some spam??? Im not impressed.
