I'm using the not-yet-ready 6.x spam module, so this might a spam module issue, but it could also be a forum module issue, not sure yet, so hoping someone can guide me on what else to look for.

When I manually enter a forum topic, I see that there is a log entry created, for example the top line below:
content 2009-01-05 18:49 forum: added dummy topic test. admin view
action 2009-01-05 18:49 Sent email to postmaster@....com admin
spam 2009-01-05 18:49 Inserted node with id 842 into ... admin
spam 2009-01-05 18:27 Inserted node with id 841 into ... Anonymous
spam 2009-01-05 18:23 Inserted node with id 840 into ... Anonymous

And then there are other entries that the spam module processed - 842, 841, 840, which it marked as spam, so were unpublished. All this is correct behavior.

But when I browse all the content, I see that there is published content - forum topic - that does not show up in the log. Nodes 839, 835 at my site for example.
there are many entries that refer to nodes 841, 840 - and they have no corresponding "content" log entry. When I go to node/839, I see that it is a forum topic. But it has no forum selected. I can't manually enter any topic without selecting forum topic, so how did the spammers manage to do this??
And it looks like they managed to enter this content even without going through the spam module, since it did not report anything.

So I have content that shows up as published in Admin Content browser, but it is content that cannot be seen from any top level link at my site - the forums link does not show it, and I've a single forum, and even that does not have it.

What could be going on?

Content being created, but no log entry - no "content" entry, and no "spam" entry.

Did you resolve this issue??
I'm having the same problem....I'm using Spam module to keep away spam content, but there's some spam comments that are added in some nodes, and there's no log entry for this comment!

Thanks!

Thanks man!

The function spam_mark_as_not_spam has also to be fixed too??

function spam_mark_as_not_spam($type, $id, $extra = array()) {
  // TODO: Fix this loop
  static $loop = FALSE;
  if ($loop) {
    spam_log(SPAM_DEBUG, 'spam_mark_as_not_spam', t('FIX ME: looping'), $type, $id);
    return;
  }
  $loop = TRUE;
...

I don't know about that - since it is not clear why it is looping in the first place, as the bug report says, need more info. I suspect unless you have trouble un-marking posts as not-spam, it may be safer to leave the mark_as_not_spam alone - especially if you are not seeing the FIX ME line for that function in the spam log.
