Ok, so here is what I think:
- You, Carl, are the most active both on the Dot in general and in
comment moderation
- Therefore, I think - within limits, and don't worry, we'll give
feedback on those... - you should get to choose how the system works,
or at the very least try out things to see if they work

In my reading of the earlier dot-editors thread, I think your
conclusion was to moderate all comments before they appear (I'm not
sure whether you wanted to also disallow anonymous commenting
completely)

If that's right, then I'd be happy for you to go ahead and we can see
how it goes and revisit after some set time (say a month, two months).
What would be needed to make this happen? The technical side in Drupal
is easy, I guess, to queue all comments for approval? Do we need more
people to moderate the comments?

Cheers,
Stu
