    Contact wordpress and ask them point out AND be honest if you have spammed. I contacted them a few weeks ago and WP support sorted it for me, I don't know what they did but I got an email from them telling me it was OK to comment again.
    I told them I used Comment Kahuma (which I did) and all my comments were at least 6 sentences long AND on topic (which they were).

    Good luck.

    No, Akismet not only bans IP address, it also bans domains in a comment.

    yeah as geester1 suggested, try contacting wordpress and tell them the exact situation. If you have not done any heavy spamming, i think they will sort it out for you.

    it's very annoying esp if you are using the same telco with same ip address with other users. others mistakes were inherited by you. just contact akismet to help out.

    Contact Akismet. I was banned and I sent an email through their site http://akismet.com/contact/
    I wrote to them that I had no idea why I was banned since the site in question never have been used for spamming. I also told them that I'm a blog owner myself and I hate spam just as much as anyone else. I was unbanned the same day, actually within a few hours. I hope that helps :)
