Hey guys,
This may be a stupid question but how do I know the spam comments from the akismet spam queue are actual spam?
A few of the comments make sense in regards to my recent post, which makes me wonder if they could be legit?
The names of the accounts are a bit weird but just thought I'd check...
Cheers, Mira
Hi Mira,
That image is just a little too small for me too make out what anything says.
But I'm guessing these are comments that say generic things like "Love this post, it's really inspiring"... kinda thing?
Those are almost always spam. The tell is that there is usually a link added to the optional website link that wordpress offers them, and it will not be a personal site but rather some generic business. Often the email address doesn't feel quite organic either.
I always mark those as spam or else the bots that are feed them up will keep doing so.
