WordPress does not keep a “blacklist” on anything. Akismet, owned by the parent company of WordPress, marks comments as comment spam because 1) people assign them as comment spam, and 2) because they match spam characteristics.

If your comments are being caught by Akismet or other comment spam filters, reassess how you comment and ask those blog owners to remove you from the queue. Akismet learns as you use it, so it will learn to unblock you.

Ur clarification get my headache away. I’ve been bothered by not be able to comment for months and I guess my blog Url was put in black list by WordPress. Don’t know why though~

Your host server logs will tell you, and I didn’t find a WordPress Plugin that reads that information, though there might be one.

You can also check out the WordPress Plugins in AntiLeech Splog Stopper: Fighting Back Against Content Thieves to see if they might work for that. Let me know if you find one.

Harvesting machines and semantic processing will lead to readable comments, untouched by human brains.

Extrapolating just a little bit, I predict that the Semantic Web of the future will be self sustained.
Blogger can just sit back and read, and let the blogging automata discuss and post and comment on all that matters in the world ;)

Beware though, this is not a fake comment!

Registration and captchas use to alienate your visitors. I have a typekey account, but it´s so anoying how they forget their own cookie all the time. I simply do not comment on typekey-enabled blogs anymore.

Well now they’re wising up a bit. They used to say “Nice Site I’m love it”, but they realised that wasn’t getting past most humans. Now they’re using a big of technology to pull keywords, so the spam is context sensitive. Now it will take 3 seconds for a human to decipher if it’s spam, instead of two. [...]

The wording was specifically targeted and related towards the content. I even responded to two, thinking they were legit. They were not. [...]
