Since I get a few wildly offensive comments once in a while, I'd like to add some text above the comment box describing rules for what types of comments won't be published. I assume I'd add this in the comment template. If so, can someone tell me where in the code I'd add the text?

As you said: above the text area.
Open your comments.php file and find where the form starts - usually it is something like:
<form action=...
and place your text above it (don't forget to format, i.e. put some tags p, span, class, whatever around to be able to style it in the stylesheet). -
Posted 6 years ago #Thanks, Moshu. I did some experimenting within the comment template & found the right place.
In my theme, Almost Spring, I placed it right before this code:
<p>
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="70" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea>
</p>
