I'm Lazy on Checking False Positive Spam Comments
I'll admit it. I have been receiving emails from some of my readers at both this site and the Search Engine Roundtable that their comments are not coming through.
In the past, I use to check the comment spam folder much more actively. But now I get about two hundred comments in an hour that makes it into the junk folder. It takes forever to scan through all of them. So I normally just delete them without looking. Honestly, I rather find new comment that sift through thousands of junk comments to find a handful of false positive (real comments).
So, if you ever see your comment not being approved automatically then you can be pretty sure that it will rarely make it to the blog. In that case, I would email me right away with the blog, your name, and the time you placed the comment - so I can approve it. My email? Well, just use this form to reach me...
