This sounds like something that happened to one of my members. Has she been inadvertently bozo’d?

You can also use this plugin to allow certain users to “skip akismet”:

(“You can also use the profile checkbox for ignoring “throttle limit” to specifiy skipping for individual users.” <– that’s the key line)

I have found Akismet to be a decent failsafe for spam, but it’s not really suitable for use as the primary spam catcher for a message board! I’ve had great results using plugins that allow long-time members to skip the akismet process entirely…

Good luck!
