Moderate comments

Hi all,
how the moderate comments feature works?

I was testing on my local machine, and I allowed anonymous posting + moderate = admin.
Then I logged out both from admin and user, and posted a comment.
It was immediately visible on the site.
Moderation isn't suppose to keep a comment on "hold" until admin review it?
Cheers
Guido

Possibly it is checking your cookies and thinking you are an admin even though you are logged out.

Cleared temp files and cookies. Still showing up as soon as I post it.

No I don't think that is how news comment moderation is supposed to work. Instead it is kind of like slashdot.org. You moderate by assigning scores to posts. I don't think this feature is really worth using, nor has it been tested thoroughly.

I see...
Well, that should go into the todo list tho...having to register to a website only to post a comment can be considered a pain for most users and experience teach how bad is allowing everybody to post without moderation.

On other instance this would be another good reason to implement openid on RN....
