It's an innove problem, dynamic url's being flagged, that's why I shifted to a captcha based anti-spam system which I think is pretty good at halting spam... I also get flagged all the time here at yuga, maybe I'll try registering so my photo also appears.. Lol! @deuts: using an actual domain/url on the e-mail field instead of the actual e-mail possibly.

Kuya Abe knows this all too well. ;) I figured it out and again, it's Globe's fault. Like what JC and Eugene told it's the way they setup their network. Feels like being cursed with Globe, one more reason to switch ISPs again. I for one have been one of the unlucky commenters flagged as spam. Kuya Abe knows this all too well. ;)

I can comment fine from other places but not at home. Thankfully, the problem seemed to have resolved itself late last week when I had a help with a few unflaggings. Anyway, I'm not using Akismet on any of my blogs and I haven't had any unmanageable spam problem. Yet. It seems that my <a href="http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/combat_comment_spam" rel="nofollow">unCAPTCHA</a> is working quite well: 19 comments blocked so far today and 34 yesterday. (But that's relatively low.) For me, the problem seems to be Globe’s IP address. I can comment fine from other places but not at home.

I've seen some big changes the past few months and it really affected the number of sites one can download from and/or comment to because of their so-called "virus protection system". Heck, I don't need their virus protection system, I know how to protect myself. Haven't gotten a virus with this machine since I bought this on my birthday last year (27th January 2007).
