## Description

We have a WordPress built-in blacklist to moderate or mark as spam comments containing
any of the words introduced.

Now we have the option to moderate our blog and enable some users, whitelisted users,
to have their comments appear without moderation.

The system checks the user’s email address to approve the comment.

See the [Comment Whitelist](http://taller.pequelia.es/plugins/comment-whitelist/)
for further information.
