There isn't much I can do, because if I turn filtering off I'll get hundreds of spam comments a day, and the comments will be totally useless.
It would be nice to know what algorithm it is using and why a number of us have been black listed.

My other point is, that as the comments list grows, hardly anoone is going to go back to previously read comments to see if there is any new entries there, so even if the comment is unmarked, there was never any point posting it as no one will read it. You might as well just post random characters for all the good it is. Is there no way an unmarked comment can be moved to the end of the comments instead of leaving it in the position it would have been had it not been flagged as spam?
