    I have some problems when I post comments on a wordpress blog. After I submit the comment I just get a blank screen and nothing else happens. Am I banned from wordpress or what exactly is going on, is this the normal way wordpress works ?

    some blogs are being moderated by the webmasters. Your comment will appear after your comment has been approved.

    Yeah, most WordPress bloggers moderate comments manually themselves because of spam. So when you write a comment you wont be able to see it right away. First the blogger will get a notice about your comment and will have to approve it or deny it before it will show in the comments section.

    If you're commenting on wordpress.com hosted blogs you might end in the Akismet spam filter.
    Try to contact them and you better have a good explanation :)

    I think that happens when you go into Akismet filter. What happens is that you may have gotten an IP (or IP range) that got picked up by Akismet or your email address or site link could be banned. Some people actually think it's funny to go around putting people's email and link into spam comments to get them banned.

    It's funny indeed :D It shows that Akismet is not perfect and it could be easily abused.
    I'm lucky blog commenting is not one of my backlink building strategies and I don't have to deal with problems like that.

    Thanks for all the comments. I never spam blogs, only useful comments. Really sucks if I'm banned in Akismet :(

    Wordpress comments are indeed filtered by askimet. If you are looking for backlinks from blogs, you will probably also find that wordpress blog comments links are all no follow...

    Even if your message is not spam, some webmasters might still flag it like spam because they don't like you / your site / or just for fun.
    5-10 spam flags and you will end in the Akismet's blacklist. If that's the case use this contact form and explain Akismet what happened.

    It is common. I think your comment in spam box or under moderation. If it is approved, you will be able to see your comment.

    I've been having this same problem. It sends you to a blank screen like it glitched. I don't get it all of the time and I don't spam comments.

    How would you know if you are askimets black list?
