 * Hi all – i’m trying to see if there’s a plugin available or a simple SQL statement
   I could use that would enable comment/pingback moderation on a per-post basis?
 * The closest related thing I can find is from [Burningbird](http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/07/07/wordpress-modifications/4/),
   but i’m a bit timid with making those sorts of changes so figured i’d run it 
   by the forums here first.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * You don’t need a plugin. It is done automatically, well, manually, by you.
 * In the Admin Panels > Write Post panel, next to the title, there is a check box
   that you can check to include comments and pings. You can choose for EVERY post
   you add, or go back and edit the ones you have added but ignored that box.
 * It’s been there for ages. Enjoy.

 * I understand I can disable comments/pings, but I want to force them into the 
   moderation queue so that they aren’t displayed to the public (at least initially)
   unless approved.
 * Unless i’m really inept and just not seeing it… ?

 * There is a global setting under Options > Discussion, but no, there’s no per-
   post setting for this currently (except for third-party solutions like the one
   you’ve pointed out).

 * I currently use a version of Shelley’s moderation hack in 1.5.1.x. So if you 
   need advice on setting it up let me know, and I’ll see about writing a step-by-
   step.
