Comment:

 IMO no feedback for spam is the correct behaviour.  I don't want spam
 that's been automatically caught to be flagged as awaiting moderation,
 that defeats the point.  Spam gets bucketed.

 Your proposed patch would mean that if I visit a page full of spam
 comments as an admin, then I'd see them all listed on the page.  That's
 just wrong.

 If a large number of your users are being caught by your filter as spam,
 then you need to either a) educate your users or b) consider changing your
 spam filter.

 Overall -1.
