"Mark as Spam"-Feature
Hi,
what exactly happens when a comment is marked as Spam (4.0.3)? People are not banned automatically, right?
Cheers,
_TU

Right. If you mark it as spam it is highlighted as spam on backend in the admininterface but nothing else. If you mark an article as banned, it will not show up on frontend and IP is banned.

Re: "Mark as Spam"-Feature
The only difference between “spam” and “unmoderated” is the presentation in the backend comments-list, the rest is just “semantics”. It helps you to know which ones you have already looked at and decided not to show on the public-side.
Theoretically it is possible for plugins to go back and use information from existing comments, but I am not aware such plugins already exist.
Now, banning on the other hand, will automatically mark comments from the same IP as spam.

What does “unmoderated” means (by the way, for those aren’t they lacking a gTxt somewhere ?) ?
Comment ok ? Not ok ? Leave the comment’s author alone (as in “automatic approval”) on future comments ?

What does “unmoderated” means
It is what used to be “invisible”, but now there is two kinds of invisible.
It means “comment which has yet to be (dis-)approved by moderator”.

Ooops, thanks, indeed.
