Improved workflow for incoming comment processing.

[westi]

Currently it is difficult to handle large comment volumes and use multiple methods for giving comments a score based on there spammyness.

We should improve the comment flow on the way into WordPress to allow for easy stacking of comment processing/review plugins.

We will need something akin to a comment_meta table to store the comment scores and reasons.

The general idea is to merge the pluggable comment processing ideas from SK2 into the core to allow for a better comment moderation flow.

We want to ensure that when a comment is held for moderation / marked as spam we know why and the user can see why easily.

Please don't close things as duplicates that are only partly related.

Comment meta is only part of this ticket!

Sorry about that. They seemed related enough. Plus, I'd honestly rather you re-open one or two out of 20 that I close, than leave 20 unneeded tickets that clutter trac.

I think the idea of comment history (a la Akismet) supersedes this ticket.
