Anti-spam A-bomb

I just did something that I was reluctant to do: I banned the word "poker" from the comments boxes. It is not that I have anything against poker, in fact, I have been known to play it once in a great while (although it has been so long I really cannot remember the last time - I am not much of a gambler, although I like Kenny Rogers).

However, it seems that every day I have to delete combox and ping spam advertising on-line poker, so I finally took the drastic step of banning the word itself. If you wish to discuss poker use some sort of creative substitute (I know that the spammers will soon anyway), and I can change it to "poker" from the inside.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
