<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Rejected</i></li><li><strong>Target version</strong> set to <i>Not tracked</i></li></ul><p>Thanks for the clarification, Scott.

Going to close this ticket as there's not much we can do about Akismet outages, but if more problems arise, please let me know. Thanks.</p>
