   Can someone please explain this to me? I'm sure it must be so simple it's hard, but I can't figure it out. If you have spam words entered into the comment box, does this automatically turn on comment moderation?
   I'd like to disable spam, but enable comments without approval.

   Options - discussion options - in admin panel.

   I need more detailed information than that.
   I have "An administrator must approve the comment (regardless of any matches below) " UNCHECKED and comments still won't post until I approve them.

   Are you the administrator?

   Check there isn't a carriage return at the end of your spamword list. An empty line will enable comment moderation on all posts. It's an undocumented feature.

   I have spam words entered.
   I too have the "An admin must approve ... " unchecked.
   (That is the only box on that options-discussion page that is not checked by me)
   All comments, unless they contain a spam word, go straight to the blog.
