Ouch... I also cleared the approval queue, and while doing so I noticed
some of them look really like legit (slightly lame) comments but
actually the dot ending the phrase is a 1x1 pixel image linking to a
site to increase Google ranking.

You missed this one (which I missed to even in full view until I found
the trick outlined below):

When they're not too long you can easily spot them by hovering the link,
which shows the code with image link.

It would be nice if:
1. We force approval when there is a link
2. Send an email to the team once a day if there are posts waiting to be
approved
