Comment (by oglekler):

 I share concerns with @mindctrl

 I wonder if the more correct approach is to ask the user to log in and
 then return the user to the comment form. This way, we will not need to
 worry if the comment user is genuine or not. Another option is to add
 comment meta with the {{{comment_moderation_text}}}, but in this case it
 will be easy to miss, so I believe offering authorization will be the
 right approach, it will stop bogus comments from legitimate users and will
 be more convenient for moderation purposes.
