Akismet | Question about how it works

Hi Andres.

The plugin sends posts to the Akismet service once every 10 minutes:

How it works

The plugin works by collecting info about a new post’s HTTP request. Every 10 minutes, a background job runs that looks for new posts. All new posts are sent to Akismet to determine if they are spam or not. If a post is deemed spam, it is deleted and placed in a moderator queue where staff can take action against it.

It is important to mention that @robert has just started editing the post, this means that he didn’t submit any changes so far.

It sounds like they were editing it when the backgorund job activated.
