Tried the Contact us at the bottom of the page, but I didnt receive any reply yet and it has been days. Any idea what has happened?
 
Please post the thread in the appropriate forum for any help with the site. There is a feedback forum at the end of the forum list. Moving this thread there now.

There is this service called Akismet which blogs and forums around the world use to block spam. Your message was blocked as spam. I can see many message errors from you in the spam error logs.

Code: 
    ["message_html"] => string(107) "<p>Just testing whether Im able to send message to a user or not. I was unable to for the past days<br></p>"

Action: Moderated - Akismet matched

You can try contacting them. If you are being blocked here then any blog or site where you post will block you if they use akismet. Almost all wordpress blogs do use it. -> http://akismet.com/contact/

You can also try changing your email address.

This is from that page itself. So I guess people contact them to get off their blacklist.
You might wonder: if these guys are so good at blocking spam, why would they put a stupid question like this on their contact form to keep spam out? Well, Akismet is great at protecting contact forms; we use it on all our other sites, but on Akismet.com, sometimes people use the contact form to tell us they're being blocked by Akismet.

If you think about that, blocking people when they're trying to tell us they're wrongly blocked would probably frustrate them, hence the math question.

And this from the net.
Possible Akismet Flags
So how does the Akismet database determine if your comment is legit or spam? Items in the Akismet database are submitted by blog owners through their comment moderation dashboard. If a blog owner considers a comment spam, they can mark that comment as spam which adds the commenters’ details to the Akismet database.

The following are details of the comment analyzed by the Akismet system, as listed in the Akismet API, plus some observations on how they affect comments. Keep in mind when reading these that it is not always one particular comment detail that Akismet analyzes to determine if the comment is spam – it is a combination of details.

IP Address
The IP address of a commenter is always logged. If spam comments get past the Akismet check, blog owners can view the IP address of each comment, which can lead to comments from the same IP with multiple names and details being marked as spam.

If one comment from your IP address is flagged as spam, are all comments using the same IP going to be filtered? Not necessarily. The IP address in combination with the next comment details will determine if comments are sent to the spam or moderation folder.

Comment Type
Akismet monitors not only regular comments, but trackbacks and pingbacks as well. For some blogs, trackback spam is much worse than actual comment spam.

Comment Author
The name submitted with a comment can be a major trigger. For example, using a keyword phrase in the name field that has been often marked as spam, such as Viagra, can automatically send a comment to the spam filter. Sometimes, if you receive one of the signals that your comment has went to the spam bin, you can simply hit the back button, change your name (try something real like your actual name or Bob if you’re shy), and the same comment will go into moderation instead.

Comment Email Address
Email addresses seem to be a particularly sensitive trigger for Akismet, particularly freebie emails such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Inbox, etc that spammers use frequently. Using an alternative address, perhaps from your own domain, may help bypass the Akismet. Of course, if you are spamming the comments section and getting reported under your domain’s email, then you may end up adding your own domain to the Akismet filters.

Comment Author URL
This is the URL you enter in the website field of the comment form. If a particular URL is marked often as spam, that URL field will trigger Akismet to bounce the comment into the spam folder. This determination is sometimes in conjunction with the email address, author name, and IP – changing these other variables could help the comment URL go through.

Comment Content
The actual body of your comment if analyzed. Common phrases such as “great post” or specific keywords may get a comment labeled as spam. Also, like the URL field itself, if the comment content contains links to a domain that has been reported as spam, the comment could get flagged as spam. So simply removing the URL from the website field and placing an HTML link in the comment content may not help a comment bypass Akismet.
