It catches well over 99% of the spam that we would otherwise receive.  As for false positives, I&#8217;d say it erroneously flags 2-4 comments a week on average out of the 500+ comments that we receive any given week.  (Those comments get held until we release them, typically later that day).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been blogging for about two and a half years, and have seen a fair number of spam blockers.  Akismet is the best available, hands down.  If you&#8217;re running a WordPress blog, I can&#8217;t recommend it enough.
