Got a slight problem administering comments on my Drupal 4.5.1 installation.
Firstly, any comments from an anonymous user goes for moderation. However, the only way I can moderate it is if an "administrator" publishes the comment first. Is this the intended behaviour?
Secondly, once published, moderated and now viewable, the anonymous comment does not expand under any of the comment viewing settings. Comments from authenticated users do expand.
Basically, the node is displayed with comments below it but the only comments that are expanded by default (given that it is configured that way) are those comments by authenticated users.
This has me a bit confused since I cannot find any other configuration option for comments that could change this behaviour.
Any suggestions?

Sounds similar...
Do you have the taxonomy_access.module installed? Sounds like a similar problem I'm having where I give users "view" access to a certain taxonomy, and they're not allowed to assign that taxonomy to a post. This results in an "orphaned" post, with no taxonomy. When I (with "modify" rights) moderate the post and set the taxonomy, it sticks, becoming visible.
Does this sound like your problem?
A temporary fix that allows user to post is to give them "modify" rights to that term, but then they can edit other users' comments... not an ideal fix!
Cheers,

speaking of which, I've just added a topic for this all it's own: http://drupal.org/node/13948

I don't have the taxonomy_acess module installed, however, my problem is not related to the taxonomy system, or access rights necessarily. Anonomous comments seem to follow different rules of behaviour.
