 The comment moderation email confirmation isn't as helpful as it could be:
 "Your comment is awaiting moderation" doesn't completely suggest the
 comment went through successfully.

 (This feedback originally suggested by Scott Berkun, I'm paraphrasing a
 bit.)

 "When a commenter replies, the new comment appears in the middle of the
 screen, but buried inside the comment area is the message: "Your comment
 is awaiting moderation" -- often in very small text.

 Suggested improvements:

 1. Provide a better default visual indicator that the comment reply
 succeeded -- this confirms to the commenter that they did everything
 right.
 2. Improve the text to say '''"Your comment was submitted successfully and
 is awaiting moderation."'''

 Attached are before / after screenshots to illustrate (with Twenty
 Fourteen as an example theme since styles could be theme-specific.)
