   Now I see that 1.5 have a SPAM button in the comments moderation... I want to know what exactly this function does.

   Thanks

   It adds the comment to a hidden spam database that will be used to catch future spam.

   I was wondering the same thing. What information is stored in the db? In other words, what info does it key off of inorder to determine that a new message is spam.

   The entire comment is stored in the database and marked as [spam]. This is in preparation for an upcoming feature, so there is nothing to really take advantage of this right now, but it is good practice to build your spam library ASAP.

   If you want to delete all comments marked as [spam], use Chris J. Davis' Spam Nuker:

   If you're being hammered by spam and want it to stop ASAP, use Dr. Dave's Spam Karma:
