 Hi

 I have been trying to grant the ability to "Moderate comments" to
 Contributors group.

 I have been using the Capability Manager 1.3.2 Plug-in as well Role Scoper
 to look at this.

 There is a roll in both of them called "Moderate comments" but setting
 this doesn't have any effect on the ability to manage comments.  I have
 found that (by trail and error) you need to set both "Edit others posts"
 and "Edit published posts" to allow this.

 This is way to many rights to have to grant in order to allow a group to
 "Moderate comments".

 I belive that is wrong and that all that should be set to allow comment
 moderation is for the  "Moderate comments" to be set.

 I may of couse be missing something here (hope so) but this does need to
 checked / fixed
