check out the 3rd comment
in the past i contacted the site admin and he has given me the code but i lost the mail wit it so i'm comming to ask here for help..
ps: 9lives us using drupal (h)

I believe it would be best
I believe it would be best to complete this with a custom module using hook_comment.

Just check in_array('crew role') of $user->roles
Change crew role to whatever role you create for the crew.

Can you suggest an alternative for non-coders?
I'm not quite savvy enough to develop my own module, can you suggest any other methods that might make this work?
I tried to implement a solution where I put a custom user avatar up for anyone that was a person with a specific user role and then used avatarapproval module to allow those particular avatars, but the problem is that if someone later downloads and re-uploads that same avatar for their account, it's automatically approved because it had previously been approved.
Hmmm.
