Goofster is right - the icon is only supposed to be there for admins; I suspect it's a caching thing. It's on the todo list!

The pencil icon is probably a moderator-admin only tool to be able to quickly edit a comment.

@Alden, yeah, we're using Akismet to filter the spam - we get between 500 and 1,000 spam comments a day but occaisionally one will still slip through.

I've never really seen any spam on this website before. I assumed that a filter was already in place…

I had some problems with Akismet but I think I figured out why.
It seems that it blocks the comments from dial-up connections (at least from my provider).
The filter didn't seem to "learn" when my messages were marked as good.
I had dialup for a couple of months due to a change to a new ADSL provider, and that was when the problem appeared.
Now it's solved.
I've read somewhere that putting too much links in a single message make the comment to be filtered by Akismet as well.
