I don't get a lot of comments to begin with and they did not look suspicious to me so i don't know why it seems to just capture everything.

The reason for my spam percentage being higher was that my blog receives fewer real comments than some of the other trial members (e.g. Matt), so assuming we all get the same amount of spam, the ratio of percentage of has to be higher. My prediction therefore is that, regardless of the email trend, this figure will rise as more people use akismet to protect low-traffic blogs, because those low traffic blogs get just as much spam as the popular ones.
