Comment (by filosofo):

 "Awaiting moderation" is the wrong message for a spammed comment, because
 unlike comments that actually make it to the moderation queue, a spammed
 comment is much less likely to get approved.  It's going to be lost among
 thousands of spammy comments.  Don't give the commenter false hope.
