    I was commenting (in topic and contributing to the discussion, no spam here :) ) some wordpress blogs, and I noticed that after I press submit nothing happens...it doesn't even shows up the 'Your comment is awaiting moderation'.

    Is this normal? :confused:

    I'd say its pretty normal ... I hold any comments with URLs until they've been approved and if its like a super-short/nonsense comment or a sales pitch the only place that comment will ever show up is in the Akismet spam list

    It typically just means that the blog moderates all the comments. I have mine set to tell the commenter that it will be manually approved. Otherwise people will post it 3 or 4 times thinking its a software problem.

    Bottom line - Make a good comment and check back in a couple days. It should be there.

    It also happens when Akismet has flagged your domain / IP as banned. Contact them to get it cleared.

    Well, if you are getting a 'blank screen' after submitting a comment to 'any' akismet protected blog (including your own), you can be assured you are flagged.. I didn't see any procedure for checking status on Akismet site.
