+ * page. This silencing does only affect the display on the community page,
+ * accounts following the silenced accounts will still get their postings.
+ *
+ * Usage: pass the URL of the to be silenced account as only parameter
+ *        at the command line when running this tool. E.g.
+ *
+ *        $> util/global_community_silence.php http://example.com/profile/bob
+ *
+ *        will silence bob@example.com so that his postings wont appear at
+ *        the global community page.
