Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Hi @frankiet - Welcome to WordPress Trac!

 A comment somewhere in here seems like an OK idea, but I wonder whether
 you've chosen the best place for it. It seems to me that we would want the
 filter to appear *after* all pre-processing has taken place (eg, setting
 'comment_approved' based on context), but before any database-related
 sanitization takes place (eg, `wp_unslash()`). See, for example, the way
 that the similar 'wp_insert_post_data' filter works in `wp_insert_post()`.

 Related - let's come up with a better filter name. 'wp_update_comment'
 sounds to me (given our naming conventions) like an action that would fire
 at a certain point during the comment update process. Something like
 'wp_update_comment_data' seems more appropriate, and it parallels other
 filter names better.
