Comment auto-approval glitch

Hi everyone,

So there is this problem I’ve been running into in regards to my wordpress-based blog.

I want WP to auto-approve comments from (new) visitors on (new) articles.

****************************************

I’ve disabled the following settings to do this, but it doesn’t work yet:

WP > Setting > Discussion

Other comments settings:

Comment author must fill out name and e-mail = ENABLED

Before a comment appears

An administrator must always approve the comment = DISABLED

Comment author must have a previously approved comment = DISABLED

****************************************

With these settings you’d think that WP should automatically approve every new comment, but it doesn’t. I still get comments that require approval.

Can anyone please help me out? Am I missing something here?

Thanks a bunch!

Sascha
