 Spammers should not be given any feedback, even if they are manually
 entered. Giving feedback could encourage spammers to become more clever at
 crafting a comment that will not be regarded as spam.

 And if feedback is given, awaiting moderation is not the case. Regarded as
 spam is the case.

 Having trouble with legitimate comments being regarded as spam is not
 something core should paper over in any way.
