Elf doesn't sound right to me either as a translation of tomte/nisse/bisse. Tomtar are eartly, not aethereal, and lives next to you, not in faerie. And tomtar are distinct from älvor or alver (and Danish equivalents I assume.) Gnomes is a better translation, I think.
The contemporary Swedish Yule gnome is pretty much identical to the anglosaxon Santa Clause I'd say, and to some extent he was from the start.
There are hacks that
make people go to preview before posting,
type words or codes in an extra box before posting,
forces delays between posting two comments
(the method we use, has worked splendidly so far)
closes old comments after x days
renaming mt-comments.cgi is supposed to work too.
