Comment processing

I've made some changes to the comment processing code of this web site to address some classes of comment spam that I am seeing a great deal of. We're talking about hundreds of comments a day which, though quickly removed, are getting through onto the site and which can be distasteful.

My standard error message format is to conclude the message "- are you a comment spammer?", so if you see this you know that you've been caught by these changes.

In particular .info domains are all banned due to the apparent failure of one particular company to stop machines registering .info domains in bulk. I can only ask you to link to them indirectly, via your own blog or someone elses. Thanks.

Sometimes when there's a lot going on in your head its nice to get it out on paper. Paper's too old fashioned so this programmer does it online. I'm 25 living in London and trying to develop an intelligent opinion about how the world should work. I'm not all there yet, so do help me out.
