[wp-hackers] Comment Moderation / Handling

[Jamie]

I just sent it to you. In the past I have tried to get around patching 
the core by doing a plugin on the capabilities filters. I never could 
get it to work. The problem is that you don't know the actual scope that 
edit_post is being checked for. Even trying to go off of the current 
page being viewed, it ends up enabling things like manage posts in the 
menu and other features you don't want, so the patch is the only way I 
know to get around it (short of totally removing WP comment moderation 
stuff and placing it in a plugin).
