Oh yeah, forgot one thing. There is also a blackhole-listing for
comments, to get rid of coment-spammers. The table "comment_rejects"
contains regexps that are matched to the comment text. If they match,
the comment is silently ignored (the author does *not* get a message
about it, in a small attempt to fool the bots that hit the site..).
Rightn ow this list contains "jsvelho\.org" and nothing more.
