Oh there is an Akismet report about a spam post: ![1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/c/1c044fc6d66132e7aa77203424539086c1d9cd5c.PNG) Nope, not spam. I click “Not Spam”. But I get “Sorry, an error has occured.”: ![2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/d/7db5c242e174781925acf4ecf0414de1854e1439.PNG) But the report is gone: ![3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/7/379a335bc83d1ff80ce514f7ed805fe5d732361c.PNG) And the log shows that the post was correctly “confirmed not spam”: ![4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/4/445a62131adef41287fbdd1c3c0683b5bc55481c.PNG) Anyone else having this problem? ---

This might happen when you click the button but the post was already handled by someone else. Not sure how hard it is to properly handle this case though. ---

It was not, see my last screenshot. I am “Sujan12” that is logged as having handled it. That’s what makes this a bug 😕 ---

Some more investigating into this: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/9/a90c22a71d93ae4e150c03bc074c96d328eb572f.png) Chrome Dev Tools Network panel screenshot for another session. I go to `/admin/plugins/akismet` in the first request. Later you see `allow` which is `/admin/plugins/akismet/allow` that already responds with an error 500: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/7/c720fc2a91e5b950d25904dde6df876938152c5c.png) Again I checked the logs, it has my account as “confirmed not spam” for that post. ---

This is another Rails 5 regression. Fixed here: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-akismet/commit/137c30ec467bbdd98da29bd2b289acf50a639604](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-akismet/commit/137c30ec467bbdd98da29bd2b289acf50a639604) ---

Great! For the record I saw this a few times in the last 10 days as well. Glad it’s fixed. ---
