[wp-testers] What's the point of comment moderation...

[spencerp]

When it's not moderating anything anyway? I mean, even on 2.3 the 
comment moderation wasn't working either...

I tried comment moderation on both themes, the one I'm using and the 
default theme and it's still letting comments through, no matter what. I 
went to Options > Discussion and chose under: Before a comment appears:

    * An administrator must always approve the comment

It's the only one checked... I even put their IP address in for Comment 
Moderation, whenever someone on that IP posts a comment, and it STILL 
lets it go through. They went and tried this on another browser, while 
not being logged in, as a total stranger.. they got an auth image, 
filled it out, and was approved too... As far as I know, the only way to 
keep a moderation going for my stuff...is to ban peoples IPs in the 
.htaccess file.. and that's pretty lame... I mean seriously though, 
despite them being approved before or not, if the option to comment 
moderation is checked, it should moderate comments as expected right?

Spencer: when u went in on other browser
did you get auth image
and fill it out

blacksnday: yea

Spencer: and was approved anyway?

blacksnday: yea it is said:
THANK YOU YOUR COMMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED
