Akismet questions…

  • Hi
    I’m am quite confused about Akismet and was hoping you all could give me some help please.
    I’ve got WordPress 2.7.1 installed. Currently also have Akismet 2.2.3 and the only other plugin I have is TinyMCE Advanced 3.2.

    Having said all that, here is my question:
    The Akismet stats link states I have x number of “Ham” entries. Where do I read these entries? I also see y number of spam entries caught. Again, where do I read the entries?

    I click on the Comments link on the left of the main page in WordPress but I don’t see any Ham or Spam listed. What gives? I would like to be able to read the “Ham” entries, but so far I cannot find them.

    Any help would be appreciated. Peace!

    Anyone?

    bump.

    Have you figured out the answer yet? I have been wondering about the same, and I guess maybe you can access your spam list via Dashboard -> Comments -> Spam [https://<blog URL>/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=spam], and likewise you can get ham list (from its definition) via Dashboard -> Comments -> Approved+Pending. The only thing I do not understand is, Akismet’s spam count is always higher than the number of spams shown in the list. I thought it may have had to do with only one spam comment from a given IP being displayed in the list (as mentioned here), but I do see multiple spams from one particular IP. Any clarification is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am using Rails 2.2.2 and Rakismet 0.3.5

    I am in the process of implementing Rakismet in my rails application,

    I am always getting the response as ‘false’ for @comment.spam? even though i submit the @comment as spam (ie, @comment.spam!)

    I have tried debugger in plugin itself,

    So i can sure that my key and url is valid ( in plugin -> rakismet -> lib -> rakismet.rb -> self.valid_key => ‘valid’)

    @comment.spam? response is ‘false’
    [_, response] => [#<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>, ‘false’]

    @comment.spam! response is “Thanks for making the web a better place.”
    Rakismet::Base.akismet_call(‘submit-spam’, akismet_data) => [#<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>, “Thanks for making the web a better place.”])

    @comment.spam? response is ‘false’
    [_, response] => [#<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>, ‘false’]

    Where i am doing the mistake?

    Any one can expalin me?

    Thanks in advance…
