[wp-hackers] AKISMET is locking me out of the wp.org forums

Tue Apr 10 15:17:20 UTC 2012

*Manually it happens if you tick people off* - *lol*

Apart from that, it does happen to me about once a year, that's right but I
am not Russian, wrong assumption.

I do understand that you go through the moderation queue and if I knew I
was in the moderation queue, I wouldn't have alerted anyone.
But how would I know I am in the moderation queue? All this hassle could
have been solved by showing me a hint after posting that my post was being
moderated. That way, I'd have known what was happening.

As to the last 3 times me mailing the right mailing list: I had a hard time
remembering the proper mailing list. Hacker sounded like some very
important people hang around it and I was right: you're here to save me :-)

I promise I won't bug your hackers list anymore. Actually I'll unsubscribe
right now.
And since you insisted on mentioning that this happened to me before, I dug
around and the last mail I found says:

>> Nobody can see my posts in the forums and I really rely on the forums,
>> could someone please check my account? User name is Ovidiu.
