[spam-stopper] Obvious spam getting through?

[Richard Williamson]

No, of course not. What I was trying to convey is that if many 
spammers start using the joke trick and akismet is unable to catch 
them and unless all comments with any links are sent to the 
moderation queue, the spam joke comments will be valid comments until 
such time as my application's users review their new comments and spot them.

Personally, I've been spoiled...out of nearly 6,000 spam to date, 
I've had only a few false negatives. The spam jokes will increase 
that. I hate to see any spam on comments pages even if it is only for 
a few hours.
