Akismet Marked Blog Admin/Authors Comments as Spam

Yesterday, I noticed weird behavior form Akismet, spam protection plugin for WordPress, developed by Automattic, the company behind WordPress!

Have a look at the following screenshot and you can see my comments filtered as spam.

  

Just for info, while commenting, I was logged in as Admin. Also comment content had no links or any bad word. In fact, I never used any bad word while commenting anywhere on Internet!

I was shocked to see this behavior by Akismet. It wasted my lots of time. I was wondering what was happening to my comments and I initially though some plugin/script might be creating problem. I spend more than one hour checking server-side error log and access log. In fact, I rebooted this server too. Then accidentally I clicked on spam comment tab and there were my comments!

I am still surprised. I think comments made by registered users/authors should not be sent for spam-check in the first place. Why a post author will spam his own post? Or why an admin who has installed Akismet to fight against comments spam, will think of spamming his own blog!

I am still clueless about Akismet’s behavior. It marked few more comments as spam yesterday. But its working fine now.

Did anyone else face same problem in past?
