Whenever users withdraw posts Akismet has begun to flag the withdrawl notice as potential spam.

This only appears to happen with new users, does the plugin trust new users less?

Sounds like you have a bad bayesian training issue there. Can you think of any way this could happen, @eviltrout? Do we have protection so the default pending delete text is never sent to Akismet?

We respected deleted posts but not those withdrawn by new users. I’ve fixed it here:
