I was looking at your first message and wondering if I should reply or not or if I misunderstood your question since the answer is so obvious. Lines that don't get matched by syslog are not reported at all, not green, not purple, not anything. Remove that line completely and if you still get a status about it, one of the other regexp matches it. F.i., first thing I do on a news setup is change the "loop" line to "looping" because "loop" delivers false positives.
