<p class=MsoNormal>No, of course not. What I was trying to convey is that if
many spammers start using the joke trick and akismet is unable to catch them
and unless all comments with any links are sent to the moderation queue, the
spam joke comments will be valid comments until such time as my application's
users review their new comments and spot them.<br>
<br>
Personally, I've been spoiled...out of nearly 6,000 spam to date, I've had only
a few false negatives. The spam jokes will increase that. I hate to see any
spam on comments pages even if it is only for a few hours. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Do you get lots of jokes legitimately posted to your
comments? <br>
Assuming you don't, you shouldn't worry at all. And if you do, <br>
Akismet ought to learn that the joke content isn't a good predictor <br>
of either spamminess or hamminess, and should end up using the rest <br>
of the content to decide.<o:p></o:p></p>
