 * Hey,
 * I would like to request a hook that would allow a plugin to check some stuff 
   and possibly prevent a comment being added.
 * Why? My plugin adds age, gender and location information to comments. I want 
   to ensure this info is entered *before* the comment is added to the DB.
 * I can work around this by hooking to the form’s onsubmit, or by deleting the 
   recently entered comment after hooking to the ‘comment_post’ event, but these
   are hacks, not good solutions.
 * Thank you!

 * preprocess_comment is the hook you’re looking for.

 * Thanks, I guess I should have thought of using the filters.
