Comment (by clicknathan):
Angry mobs abound.
In WP-Admin Settings > Discussion, there's an option which reads "An
administrator must always approve the comment" - however, the term
administrator is deceiving there, as currently the author of the post,
even if they're only a contributor, can approve the comment.
This deviates from what Contributors are in general, which are users who
otherwise can't add content to a site without the approval of Editors /
Admins, but in the case of comments, they can not only add content, but
edit other people's content.
Plenty of people in the forums looking to have this sorted out:
