Some people really want to make their site look cleaner/easier and avoid too many options for the user when commenting.
One of the tasks you could do in Drpl 5.x is in the filter.module to comment out this on line 960:

from:

function theme_filter_tips_more_info() {
return '"<"p">"'. l(t('More information about formatting options'), 'filter/tips') .'"<"/p">"';
}

to:

//function theme_filter_tips_more_info() {
// return '"<"p">"'. l(t('More information about formatting options'), 'filter/tips') .'"<"/p">"';
//}

there was a link somewhere to this but it seemed a bit outdated: http://drupal.org/node/35122, I stumbled upon it and wanted to share this with you guys. Maybe this should be added somewhere in the handbook, maybe it is already, my apologies. I hope the title of this topic will help you find this fairly quickly.

sorry guys, I just couldn't find by only typing in the title as in my title here so that's why I created it.
I think it's quite weird that it doesn't show a list of topics found according to a string of words that is written on the first page. I only found it on the 4th page (as for this moment). If anybody could explain me here why this is that would be great help too.

so in this topic http://drupal.org/node/35122 there is a post by Ronan that explains how to hide it with CSS, maybe that's a better solution. anyway.. hoping to help out (for once I thought I was able too..)

Authentically,
