Comment (by realblueorange):

 Replying to [comment:6 johnbillion]:
 > It is a bit odd that we don't have a means of discarding a comment
 completely. `wp_insert_comment()` is called regardless of the return value
 of the `pre_comment_approved` filter, and there's nothing else in `wp-
 comments-post.php` or `wp_new_comment()` that can be used to discard a
 comment without inserting it.

 I couldn't agree more. I would love to have this added to the core. It
 would make writing a spam checker so much easier. All you can do right now
 is wait for the comment to be inserted and delete it later on somewhere.
 Right now I am throwing a wp_die() when my criteria aren't met, but that
 doesn't seem like the way to go.
