We just got bit by this... might be looking into a fix. Depends on client feedback.

There are two ways I envisage doing this:

  1. Display the comment in line with all the other comments but include a drupal_set_message or something to notify the user that their comment is in the moderation queue. "Your comment has been queued for review by site administrators and will be published after approval."
  2. Do not display the comment with the approved comments as this may mislead the user to believe it is posted and ajax in a message similar to the above. "Your comment has been queued for review by site administrators and will be published after approval."

I've noticed on Bartik, the comment-unpublished class gives the comment a pinky unpublished content hue. However I don't think this is enough for standard users to know their comment is not published yet. I think there definitely needs to be some form of message. The only question now is whether to display the comment subsequent to posting.

I'm happy to patch either way after feedback.
