However, for some reason, in the past day it’s started letting through comments that are clearly spam, and I’ve had to manually label them as such and then delete them.

I wonder if this is related to the recent update to the system (as it’s a centralized service), or something else. The update seemed to be only related to improving the statistics tracking of the service, and not something related to the spam-detection algorithm. I’ve tried disabling/enabling the plugin, so we’ll see if that helps - has anyone else been having these problems?
